Papua New Guinea (PNG) prime minister James Marape has used his address at the opening of the sixteenth business session of the Papua New Guinea Union Mission (PNGUM) to challenge Seventh-day Adventists. “The Adventist Church is not growing at the same rate as PNG’s population,” Marape said. “You should aim to reach 1 million members by the end of the next five-year term.”
Marape, himself a Seventh-day Adventist, was unable to attend in person during the opening program on November 29, 2020, which was livestreamed on Facebook, but shared his favorite verse, Romans 8:28, and reminded attendees that God is in control and knows what is best for each one, collectively and individually.
