ELCPNG Synod

The host, Immanuel District of ELCPNG, raised the bar when they only worked with the resources that they had and the funds that they had raised to construct 20 permanent houses, 20 semi-permanent homes, a good 2.8-kilometre road, bore water, 2-kilometre power lines providing electricity and a synod hall.

Immanuel District president, Reverend Tande Tumbo, said in an interview that it took them seven months to finally complete all infrastructure needed for the synod.

Another indigenous Papuan was ordained a pastor in the church, bringing the number of Papuan indigenous pastors to five.

Head Bishop Right Reverend Dr. Jack Urame conducted the ordination of Graduate student, Inilessie Eburi, during the opening ceremony of the 33^rd Synod at the Sir John Guise Stadium in Port Moresby. Assistant Bishop, Rev. Lucas Kedabin, assisted him.
