Dis­ciple­ship Train­ing Program

Kapuna runs a dis­ciple­ship program through­out the year. They invite a group of people from dif­fer­ent vil­lages in the Gulf Province and house and feed them for a period of 8 weeks while they train them in Bible Truths and Prac­tical Chris­tian­ity. They are embraced into the Chris­tian Com­munity of Kapuna and taken on an Out­reach exper­i­ence to another village before return­ing to their own village with a renewed filling of the Holy Spirit, where they step out to speak to their own people, in their own lan­guage to bring them closer to Christ. By sup­port­ing the Dis­ciple­ship Train­ing Program, you can be a part of spread­ing the Gospel and God’s love through­out the Gulf Province

Kapuna Life School

This lovely school is the local Kapuna School and provides the best edu­ca­tion in the Gulf, espe­cially con­sid­er­ing its regular short­age of teach­ers and resources. They provide Chris­tian edu­ca­tion and teach a mix of NZ and PNG curricula.

Most of the resources are very old and limited. We are hoping to raise enough money to start a sus­tain­able fund for an extra budget for school resources by using a small pig farm which is a major cur­rency through­out PNG. Buy a few piglets, and teach pig hus­bandry to the stu­dents and once the pigs are big enough to sell, we’ll sell one for cash for the school and the other to buy more piglets. This way in support you give will con­tinue to be multiplied.

Days for Girls

Period poverty keeps many girls out of school each month. In an area where school­ing and respect for women are already very low, any extra bar­ri­ers to edu­ca­tion need to be irradiated!

The newly formed Kapuna sewing group has recently partnered with Days for Girls to sew reusable pads and make hygiene packs for dis­tri­bu­tion through­out the vil­lages in the Gulf. Edu­ca­tion around men­strual hygiene is provided for men and women as part of this ini­ti­at­ive and they need funding to create and dis­trib­ute these packs to remote areas of the Gulf.

    All very worth­while ini­ti­at­ives 👍🏼Earlier this month our con­greg­a­tion were reminded of Wilbur Chapman, the Amer­ican boy, who was the inspir­a­tion for the piggy bank when he bought and raised a pig to gen­er­ate funds for the Leprosy Mission. This Sunday they will hear about your pro­jects and espe­cially the piggy one! 😉
