Why on Earth am I here?


According to data collected in the year 2000AD, the percentage of the population in PNG which is Christian, was as high as 96%1. In the year 2001AD, the percentage of the population in Austrlia which identified as Christian was 68%2. One of my co-workers here at Lae City Mission often remarks that PNG is likely the most over-evangelised place on the face of the earth.

A fair question then: What on earth are we here for, when the country we are sent to, is more Christian than the country that sent us?
