-



 

Pathfinder Adventist Clinic is the only Adventist Floating Clinic in Papua New Guinea that serves the beautiful people of the Upper Sepik River. It all began when Mr. Ormond Speck who was a Teacher and Dentist by profession flew to Ambunti with his wife in 1948 as an early Missionary. The help of his wife who had a basic knowledge of Medicine assisted him to diagnose and treat the locals.

After him came Pastor David Lamstrong who initiated a staff house that become the basis of the Floating Clinic in 1950. He also brings in two Medical Missionaries Molly (New Zealand) and Jane (Australia) to assist grow the clinic started by Mr. Ormond and his wife.

To this date, with three full-time Medical Missionaries, Pathfinder Clinic continues to visit, serve and provide clinics to the locals living in the upper Sepik River.

 KJV Psalms 15:1-5 1 LORD, who shall abide in thy tabernacle? who shall dwell in thy holy hill? 2 He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and speaketh the truth in his heart. 3 He that backbiteth not with his tongue, nor doeth evil to his neighbour, nor taketh up a reproach against his neighbour. 4 In whose eyes a vile person is contemned; but he honoureth them that fear the LORD. He that sweareth to his own hurt, and changeth not. 5 He that putteth not out his money to usury, nor taketh reward against the innocent. He that doeth these things shall never be moved.

  As Christians, we had been raised to accept Bible to be the Word of God. But the word of God is more than the Bible itself. We don’t have to dwell on reasons to justify.

He was tasked to protect the Law of God. By Protecting God’s Law, He was able to deceive one-third of the Angels in Heaven where there’s no Sin.   We can say the first Deceive was done in the Presence of God. Again, he was successful to deceive Eve and Adam, still in the presence of God. He used the word of God to deceive Eve- Genesis 3:1-4. Eve and Adam don’t know it was a lie after they ate the forbidden fruit. Two things before we close. Firstly, who are we if Devil Can deceive Angles in Heaven and Our First Parents in Eden. Secondly, Devil knew the Word of God better than We. Remember He was the Protector of God’s Law. This Pause a Quest
