People live a well hidden, syncretistic life. Hundivi is claimed as a Catholic village, but no one knows hardly anything about God or the Bible. Since the Catholic Church allows people in PNG to smoke and chew beetle nut, many people will claim Catholicism as their Christian religion. It s popular to be a Christian, as long as your religion doesn t hinder you from your selfish desires. The real truth is that people practice animism.
Some places practice it openly, communicating with the evil spirits, cannibalism, etc.
But most villages do it secretly or under cover. My village, Hundivi, tries their best to let me know that they are Christian. Unfortunately, they are very much slaves to Satan. My prayers and goal is that we will be able to give a gospel presentation that will open up their eyes to the real great controversy that is going on in the universe. Please pray with me that God would work on each villager s heart so that they would receive and respond to the Good News.
