58: A Jungle Awakening: How a Tribe Prepared for a God They Had Never Known | John & Belinda Kent
Description
Deep in the heart of Papua New Guinea—270 miles from the nearest town, 80 miles upriver by log canoe—God was already moving among a people who had never heard His name. What happened when a remote village built a church before they even knew who Jesus was? This story will leave you in awe.
In this gripping episode of the God’s Goodness Podcast, John and Belinda Kent share their unforgettable journey of bringing the Gospel to unreached tribes. From the courage of Andrew and Anna—who uprooted their family overnight to minister to an unknown people—to the miraculous moment when a woman, once unable to learn, suddenly grasped reading after a simple but powerful prayer, this episode is packed with testimonies of God’s undeniable hand at work.
Yet, not all welcomed the message. As the tribal elder Momby resisted, his tragic final days revealed the deep spiritual battle at play. And in a haunting moment on the river, John was struck with the sobering realization that only Jesus could truly save the Iwam people.
