Literature evangelist (LE) summits held in Papua New Guinea (PNG) and Fiji inspired and trained LEs in working with modern tools of communication and marketing strategies.
The first, held at Pacific Adventist University (PNG) from December 9-13 had more than 35 attendees, and the second, held at Fulton Adventist University College (Fiji) from December 16-20 had more than 50.
Both summits were themed “Living, Connecting, Serving in our Times!”
“Our Pacific Island LEs were very excited to meet Pastor Stephen Apola, associate director of the General Conference Publishing department who was their inspirational speaker,” said Tony Wall, associate director for Pacific Island Literature Ministry. Other speakers included Pastors Wanti Gani (PNG) and Patrick Jacksam (Fiji) as well as the LE area managers.
Mr Wall also commented on the impact of literature evangelism in the Pacific. “Every year our LE’s are distributing Truth-filled literature into homes, schools and libraries around the Pacific, with many people making life changing decisions to follow Christ in baptism and lifestyle as a result.”
“Only eternity will reveal the true impact of their faithful work,” he said.
The next LE summit, which the Pacific LEs are now working towards, will be held in New Zealand in August this year.
