Enhancing Ministry in PNG

Enhancing Ministry is a project that injects life-blood into the Anglican Church in PNG. As well as supporting essential services like financial administration in the poorest of PNG’s dioceses, this project is helping the church to respond positively to some of its biggest challenges. One important component of Enhancing Ministry is training courses and development, providing opportunities for clergy and church workers throughout PNG. The Anglican Church in PNG desperately needs assistance to pay travel costs so that hundreds of priests, catechists, and church workers are not stranded without supervision in remote parishes, but have the opportunity to share ideas, meet and pray together.

Here are some of the ways your gift will be used:

• $30 will allow a priest from a remote coastal parish to access in-service training
• $150 buys a bicycle for a priest in the New Guinea Islands
• $970 for each deanery makes it possible for priests to gather together and access the pastoral support of an Archdeacon in PNG’s largest Diocese
• $2,000 provides an allowance to Women in Ministry founder, Rita Simeni, as she continues to establish new centres and empower communities to minister more effectively
• $2,300 will enable Popondota Diocese’s tireless Accounts Clerk, Evangeline Begin to undertake formal training

We need to raise $109,940 in 2008
