National Day of Prayer and Repentance

In a media conference held on Friday, 19 August, church leaders representing the PNG Council of Churches (PNGCC), the PNG Evangelical Alliance and the Body of Christ movement called on the government and the people to genuinely repent and pray for God’s intervention.

Secretary for Department of Community Development and Religion, Jerry Ubase said they have given the mandate to churches to facilitate both the Day of Repentance as well as the Annual Dedication of the Public Service. 

PNGCC General Secretary, Rev. Roger Joseph said this during a Press conference hosted by the Department for Community Development and Religion yesterday, 19 August, in preparation for the upcoming Day of Prayer and Repentance on Friday 26 August.

“We will start to see evil as evil, and build the culture of upright living. This kind of life starts with true repentance and the kind that will bring back Papua New Guinea. It is sad however to state now, that the 21^st churches have lost the doctrine of repentance.
