Many people live their 40 to 80 years and leave little or no impact on the world. Obviously very few people can live a life that effects the whole world, but cannot all of us have an impact... make a difference... in the world we live in.

I realize God has allowed us to live in Goroka Papua New Guinea for the last 19 years. I am challenged on how is my part of the world better or at least different because I was a part of it.

I think all of us need to ponder on the concept of making a difference whether great or small in our "section" of the world.
Am I making a real difference or am I just existing and only making superficial changes.

Quite a thought to ponder. Tomorrow lets start to look at Biblical examples of people that have made a difference

Make a difference in Papua New Guinea

Bill and Lori Smith are Baptist missionaries in Papua New Guinea. We have been there for 19 years. The question that we still stuggle with is how to make a difference in the lives as many people as possible. So many lives that need the Gospel of Christ but how can we give the Gospel to as many as possible. We have seen churches started, Bible College students trained to serve in the those churches, Christian Day schools started. Medical clinics design to reach people through meeting their physical needs. How do we make a difference in PNG for eternity. Your comments on ways to do this is most welcomed. We want to see God make a difference through us. This blog will discuss many ways we see God can do His work
