Melanesian Brotherhood

The Tasiu, or Melanesian Brothers, are the front-line ministers of much of the Melanesian Church. Numbering a few hundred Brothers across PNG, the Brotherhood acts upon their calling to evangelise and serve in some of the toughest and most remote communities in the country. Renowned for their resilience and ability to survive with no possessions save the shirts on their backs, the Brothers have appealed to the Australian church to provide assistance to purchase pens and learning material for new novices. The Brothers are also requesting support
for a Regional Chaplain to the Brothers in PNG.

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

• $45 buys a year of books, pens, and essential supplies for a novice training at Doboduru (currently 42 novices)
• $120 a week will support the urban ministry of the Brotherhood in Port Moresby
• $3,300 supports a Regional Chaplain for the Brothers
• $5,800 provides travel and ministry expenses for the Regional Head Brother

We need to raise $24,450 in 2008
