Papua New Guinea

Officially Established in Papua New Guinea in 1955.

Field Coordinator: Rev. Peniperite Fakaua
Institution: Kudjip Nazarene Hospital

The Papua New Guinea Field serves a diverse nation of approximately 10.6 million people across 883 identified people groups, reflecting one of the most culturally and linguistically rich contexts in the world. Among these groups, only one people group (0.1%) remains classified as unreached and frontier, representing about 30,000 individuals—or 0.3% of the population—who still have limited access to the Gospel. While the vast majority of communities have some level of Christian presence, ongoing ministry focuses on strengthening discipleship, supporting local churches, and intentionally reaching remaining unreached populations through compassionate service, leadership development, and contextualized mission efforts across the country.

This last year has especially seen major and encouraging breakthroughs in significant areas across the Melanesia South Pacific Field as we believe that long term strategies and tenacious determination by very many of our solid church leaders have been resulting in significant Kingdom victories being won.
