Spend Christmas with family, encourages Council

The PNG Churches Council encourages Papua New Guineans to join their families to share the joy, peace, love and spirit of Christmas.

On behalf of the Churches throughout PNG, General Secretary of the PNGCC, Rev. Roger Joseph, extends season greetings of peace and good tidings in the Lord to everyone.

Rev. Joseph said Christmas is about humility because it is a time to make a humble decision to retire from normal activities and be with the family.

“We are encouraged by Christmas to return home for family reunions, reconciliations and peace building before we face the challenges of 2017,” he said.

“Christmas is a time to return to our place of origin where our identities are deeply rooted.

“Our solidarity and origin is important because they set the foundation of our prosperity.”

Rev. Joseph added that PNG, as a growing nation, cannot escape the social, political, religious and economic issues faced today as they are normal for every growing nation.

But as we celebrate Christmas, this enables us to find the wisdom and strength we need to face tomorrow, he stated.
