By Ken Jacob – DWU Journalism student
Preparations are underway to host the National Students for Christ (SFC) Tertiary Crusade in Wurup Kuna Kaip, a community sharing borders with Western Highlands and Jiwaka Provinces.
The event will take place in the first week of December and is expected to bring students from various tertiary institutions across the country to share their faith.
National SFC President and a final-year Accounting and Education student at Pacific Adventist University, Gideon Wamp said the annual event is an opportunity to unite the students in one faith.
“At the end of this crusade, I hope to see lives and society transformed through the Word of God,” he said.
Last year’s crusade was hosted by Innovative University of Enga with a great turnout.
He said the organising committee had already carried out awareness activities in churches and communities, while several national executive meetings had also been held to coordinate the event.
According to Wamp, tertiary institutions around the country have been informed and are looking forward to taking part in the crusade.
He said his hope was to see lives changed through the gathering.
Meanwhile, Chris Daniel, a final-year Physiotherapy student at Divine Word University and President of Madang Regional Students for Christ (SFC), said he was excited to host Western Highlands tertiary students at his village during the upcoming crusade.
Daniel said preparations were already underway, with communities and churches across approximately nine council wards looking forward to welcoming the students.
