Mark H

Serving in Papua

Intercultural Mission Specialist and Country Consultant, Mark Holt, has a deep passion and love for the people of Papua and desires to see their faith communities continue to grow and thrive.

Mark communicates closely with local faith leaders and supports them as they respond to the diverse needs of the local people.

He writes, “The Fellowship of the Baptist Churches of Papua is a dynamic and passionate union of over 300 churches. With the leadership of Titus Yikwa and Stevanus Wenda, these churches train workers for God’s Kingdom in theological colleges and training programs. My role is to walk beside this leadership and also initiate intensive mission workshops both on the coasts and the mountainous interior of this God-blessed place of Papua.”

Through their day-to-day life, Jean-Claude and Joyce are engaging with people wholistically, responding to their spiritual and physical needs.

Jean-Claude and Joyce share a passionate love for God and people and desire to see the Yawo follow Jesus within their cultural context. They are building relationships with their Yawo neighbours and investing in their culture and language learning with a local language nurturer so they can effectively communicate with their Yawo friends.

They are grateful for the prayers and financial support they receive as they actively seek to build meaningful relationships amongst the Yawo and see communities transformed as they follow Jesus in ways that make sense to them.
