“We have Methodist churches in Kimbe, Madang, Vanimo and Lae as well so together we all will be giving the Christmas gifts, especially to the children’s wards in different region,” Ming said.
“About 120 children received Christmas gifts from the church.
“Children’s wards are very privileged every year to receive gifts from government to private organisations.”
During the beginning of December, different organisation schedule a day for its employees to bring Christmas gifts to the children and we are very happy for them,” Ming said.

“He is an infant and we pray for God’s divine intervention to cure him and seeing the Methodist Church praying and bringing gifts puts a smile on  the his face is something a mother is thankful for,” said Koma.
