By Reuben Mete

The Evangelical Lutheran Church in Mumeng District (ELC Mumeng) is hosting its District Conference this week from 26th October to the 02nd of November 2013. The theme of the weeklong conference is ‘Christ in the Family’ taken from the Holy Bible in Ephesus 6:1. The Conference is expected to attract Lutheran members within the 19 parishes and 97 congregations to meet and addresses issues concerning their Christian lives, the challenges as Christian and the changes that affect them in their social, economic as well as their spiritual growth.

Mr. Chris Vincent, ELC Mumeng District Youth Coordinator says he is expecting more than 500 young men and women to participate in the conference. “The current terms of youth Executive which is two year have been very challenge and short for me to implement some of the things in the district,” Chris said. “I wanted to see this term extended to three or four years to give enough time for implementation.”

There will be a Pres-Assembly for Women and Youths on Monday and Tuesday than they will join in with the rest over the remaining days of the week. Other agenda’s expected are youth budgets, 04th Annual Youth Festival and Election of all District Executives including Youths, Women’s and Sunday school. Mumeng District is one of the biggest districts with its youth’s population estimated to be 50,000 to 60,000.

THE UNFOLDING EVENTS OF PNG - PLEASE PRAY.

There are some issues which are fundamental in holding a society in balance. In the PNG and Melanesia, a Father, Leader and a Man lead the way and set the pace.  Stable marriage is also important.  The current talk and under-current re-writing of the marriage, acceptance of same-sex relationship, de-criminalizing of homosexuality and the so called important bill for 22 women in parliament is a proposal to de-stabilize and bring PNG society into a confused, non-godly society.  What is your stand?  How are you praying? And what can you do to influence the MPs to do the right thing?  If you believe in PNG, you will pass this information to likeminded to pray and act or do something?  This is a concern to me and I need to share.
Since the existence of human life on the Island of Nuigini, the inhabitants of our land had their un-written rules and had standards on morality, discipline and rules governing sexuality, relationship and marriage.  What has forced the changes in the rules? Why legislate to de-criminalize homosexuality? Would the UN and the Aid Agencies in-directly funding the changes in PNGs' value system to destroy the social and cultural values of the Melanesians?  Why is there so much publicity and propaganda on the AIDS agenda?  Why have another 22 leaders (women) when we are already over-governed without services effectively delivered?

Do we need a white skin to come and talk to our leaders, fathers and the man of the land as to how to behave and have their homes and their "Haus Man Toktok" in order?  What is the rationale behind the de-criminalization of sodomy and lesbianism?  If these minorities have gone astray, should we be forced to change the law of natural use of‘men’ and ‘women’ sexuality and it’s naturally God given mandate to un-natural way?  How do the homosexuals propagate their own kind? 

Is this where most of the donor aid agencies propagating to destroy the Marriage foundation, morality and righteousness in PNG?  Is this not the Agenda Lady Kidu is advocating?  We should not be surprised if 22 women make into Parliament ‘Haus Man’ becomes a diluted house of the adultery and whores?  Few of the so called women leaders have gone through disfunctional marriages and broken marriages and are looking for a place to get even with the men.  They will be there not for the development agenda of the electorates but to condone and propagate the social evil, women rights agendas that they are corhersing with Lady Kidu to force this evil and curse upon our nation.

Our 111 Members of Parliament, if you are men enough in your constituency and have some decency to know your position as husbands, fathers and leaders, you would be careful to make the right choice not to vote for women seats and the homosexual agendas being drafted by lady Kidu and her advisors.  Guess who they may be.  It’s a coincidence; both these issues are being pushed at the same time to be legislated.

Do we have to sit around and wait for a white woman to set the standards and the rules governing our life values?  Do we have to wait until all the ladies end up in parliament and make that "Haus" a un-holy place of the rule of the spirit of Zezebel?  Like King Ahab, when he (man-leader) was weak, it allowed for Zezebell (women) to dictate and rule the nation of Israel into its demise.
We need the Spirit of Elijah to arise and speak.  Do we have a voice out there that can influence our MPs, while the papers are being drafted into become a bill?
