Prayer Update: Roads and Unrest

We asked you to pray for the road (which was covered by a landslide) and for the unrest among the West Kewa. To bring you up to date…

Road – Amazingly, the road was quickly restored to a passable condition
– helped along by the fact that it was the main road between two of the largest cities in the highlands. The men were able to travel by PMV (hired car) to the landslide, walk across the impassable portion, and then get another PMV to take them home. Praise God!

Unrest – The fighting is still occurring among the West Kewa – although last weekend, a series of peace talks was begun in the capital city of Port Moresby (where the fighting began). There has not been any new fighting recently, but the situation is always subject to change. This kind of fighting has traditionally been a part of life for highland people, so keep praying for them and specifically, the West Kewa.
