Talmadge Johnson took the Sunday night service's audience on a spiritual travelogue to reveal the mission of the Sending God. Braving the mud, landslides, and torrential rains, the Johnsons, embraced by the Nazarenes of PNG, brought messages of hope, joy, and solidarity with the church that born out of the vision and effort of pioneer missionary John Bromley. As the son of Bromley rang the ancient bell belonging to his father, images of God's faithfulness and the steadfast commitment of pioneers who opened Nazarene mission fields played across the minds and hearts of Johnson's audience. |
