Company appoints full-time chaplain

PARADISE Company Ltd chief executive officer James Rice has appointed of full-time company chaplain.
He is Pastor Israel Arua.
Rice said American politician Dr Ben Carson once said: “When we have done our best, we also have to learn that we still need to rely on God.
“Our best, no matter how good, is incomplete if we leave God out of the picture.
“Yet Paradise Company is not going to leave God out of the picture, because Christian values are an important part of Papua New Guinea culture and should be part of our daily life at work.
“That’s why we announced the creation of this new position.
“Paradise Foods Ltd is the first non-government employer in PNG to create a full-time chaplain position, though it is common in the country’s defence force and police force. ”
Arua said he was humbled to be offered the position.
“I look forward to initially meeting all staff here in Port Moresby and Lae and assisting them with difficulties in their work and private life and other challenges we face in our daily lives.”
Arua is an ordained and practicing pastor recently with Christian Outreach Centre (COC) in both field and administrative ministry for more than 20 years.
