More than 350 books and magazines were distributed across the village.

Literature evangelists from the Central Papua Conference (CPC) recently combined literature distribution with community outreach in Maopa, a coastal village in Papua New Guinea’s Abau District.

The village, located approximately 100 kilometers east of Port Moresby, is one of the communities being reached through the CPC Literature Ministry’s ongoing evangelistic efforts.

The outreach resulted in the distribution of 365 books and magazines, visits to 68 homes, 66 prayers offered, and 28 Bible studies conducted.

According to CPC Literature Ministry area manager Vavine Komba, literature remains a powerful tool for sharing the gospel. “Through literature, we can enter places where a preacher may never go and continue sharing the gospel long after we have left,” said Komba.

The team also visited seven former church members and provided food supplies to families in need.

“The gospel is not only about sharing truth; it is also about showing compassion. When we meet people’s immediate needs, we open doors for meaningful conversations about God’s love and His plan for their lives,” Komba said.

CPC leaders described the outreach program as “an example of the church’s mission in action”, commending the Literature Evangelism team for its commitment to frontline mission and community engagement.
