Pray specifically for the Neo-Melanesian Papuans of Papua New Guinea
And this is the judgment: the light has come into the world, and people loved the darkness rather than the light because their works were evil.
The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance.
And they all ate and were satisfied. And what was left over was picked up, twelve baskets of broken pieces.
This is the message we have heard from him and proclaim to you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.
