Universal Church

The slogan says; “What do you do that is considered NORMAL but led you to trouble?” Over 400 youths gathered at the Universal Church to share about this.

 About 400 or more youths in Port Moresby including members from the 8-Mile and Koki Outreach churches, turned up at the main Universal Church for the youth outreach program.

Pastor Jonathan Pine told the youths that it is not normal to follow others and do destructive things to their lives. He encouraged them to make the right choices even when others may think it is not normal.

The opening was also accompanied by a time of worship, prayer and hearing the Word of God.

Finally the long awaited new and better venue was found where the Universal church can hold services in ample space for its 200 plus members every Sunday service.

“The alter represents God himself. This is not a stage. We are not going to put a choir here to sing here. It’s not a place where we are going to be doing entertainment, no. This is going to be consecrated as the most holy place in the church,” Ps Pine said.

A little over 100 people of all lifestyles arrived at the church this morning to get a share of the goodness shared by the church to those in need.

The event is held at the end of every month to follow in the footsteps of Lord Jesus Christ in serving the poor and the needy.

Many of the people who arrived this morning were recently evicted from the Garden Hills settlement, like Miriam Timi who came with one of their three daughters.

Members of the Universal Church in Gordons, NCD while feeding and meeting their basic needs have expressed their thoughts in reaching out to the community members who have a need.

People who have come through the Universal Church, had a feel of the kindness received, and are convinced that if all the churches around the country would do the same the world would be a better place. 

On Saturday 19^th February, the fourth unisocial event was held in partnership with St John Ambulance at the Universal Church at Varahe Street, Gordons where they usually have weekly worship and ministering to people regarding their social and mental issues.

Church missionaries and members gave away more than 200 packs of food items during a social activity the called Unisocial VYG.

Children and the youth who have been noticed in and around town, Koki-Ela Beach were invited to a day of fun and games, after which individual food packs were given to them.

Pastor Jonathan Pinheiro said the event is to help those children who are in need, not only spiritually but also physically and socially.
