November marked a milestone for two groups of students in Papua New Guinea. Missionary Simon Herrmann reports that three single men and a couple graduated from the Maria Molnár Bible Training Centre on Manus Island. All of them look toward a future of service in the local church as pastors or deacons. A couple and one young man are also going on for additional training and experience at internships with larger churches. It is also encouraging that a larger group of students is in the class which will resume their training when classes begin again in February.

In Port Moresby, the capital of PNG, the Christian Leaders' Training College (CLTC) recently held its graduation. The college has its main office and campus in the highlands of PNG, with a remote teaching facility in Port Moresby. Herrmann reports, “We sometimes send  students to the CLTC for training. We also their correspondence course material for our interns.”

Herrmann asks for prayer for these recent graduates, as they seek places of service within the church, that they will faithfully serve the Lord and His people.
