The 6 Mile Bible Baptist Church will celebrate Papua New Guinea’s 49th Independence Day with a special service that highlights both national pride and Christian values. The event will include prayers of thanksgiving for the nation’s independence and its continued blessings, as well as hymns of praise reflecting gratitude for God’s guidance.
The celebration will be centered on the theme of freedom, both as a nation and as Christians. Key Bible verses such as Galatians 5:1, which says, "It is for freedom that Christ has set us free," and 2 Corinthians 3:17, "Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom," will be shared to remind attendees that true liberty comes from faith in Christ. The service will emphasize how Christian principles—love, unity, and service—can help guide the nation forward in the years to come.
The day will also reflect on God’s provision for Papua New Guinea since independence, urging the congregation to continue trusting in Him for the nation’s future. The event will conclude with fellowship and traditional celebrations, embodying the unity of the body of Christ and the nation.
