No Mechanic But Ideas.

On the morning of Sunday, 29th March 2026, the Lae District Master Guide leaders and elders set out for Pile with the purpose of clearing bushes and preparing campsites. Along the journey, however, we encountered an unexpected mechanical problem with the front wheel, which caused a significant delay. For several hours, we were stranded, unable to proceed, until around 3:00 p.m.

Despite having little to no mechanical knowledge among us,we have Carpenters, the Master Guide, and leaders worked together, sharing ideas and doing what we could. With determination, cooperation, and faith in God’s guidance, we eventually managed to repair the vehicle and continue our journey.

By the time we arrived at Pile, it was already late and dark. Unfortunately, the same mechanical issue occurred again upon arrival. Once more, we faced the challenge together. Though we lacked technical expertise, we carefully examined the problem, removed parts, and applied our collective efforts until the vehicle was restored.

In the end, we were able to return safely. This experience taught us but trust in God. We are truly grateful for His protection and guidance throughout the entire journey. Amen. 🙏
