Papua New Guinea

Women’s Group Study Programme

In villages and churches throughout rural Papua New Guinea, 50% of the women there cannot read or write. The large number of Prayer Groups set up within these villages are lacking in resources, especially those to help the women who are illiterate. The Bible Society in Papua New Guinea is working to supply these groups with ‘Listen to Read’ Bible Study Literacy material, including Bibles, audio devices, prayer materials and information on health, domestic violence, agriculture and marketing and business training.

Please Pray...
Pray for those women who are taking part in the literacy programmes; that their hearts will be open to the words they read in the Bible. Pray that as important skills and lessons are learned the women would recognize their worth and abilities.
