Overseas Visitors

 It is of great pleasure in having a visit by, "Mr. Peter Hasu", and "Mr. Maike Keiguma", the 2 headmasters from the Asaroka Lutheran Secondary and Primary Schools.  The visit was for 11 days.

 These schools are situated within the highlands of Papua New Guinea, near the town of Goroka. As they were the first visitors from the Asaroka Lutheran Schools since the beginning of the partnership with Golden Grove Lutheran Fellowship/ Primary School, it is a very important mile-stone in the relationship.

 The Asaroka Lutheran Primary school has about 400 students attending, whilst the Asaroka Lutheran Secondary School has over 1,000 students.

 During their visit they had the opportunity to see and become involved in a variety of different activities.

  Some of these included.

• Spending 2 days selecting books for both the libraries at the Asaroka Primary and Secondary Schools.
• Meeting the donors of the computers and thanking them for their assistance.
• Visiting various Lutheran primary and secondary schools here in Adelaide, South Australia.
• Visiting various homes of the people from the Golden Grove Lutheran Fellowship / Primary School.
• Attending 3 special church services, that we were also able to hear them speak on the partnership and how God is the central link in the partnership. They were also able to up-date us with some of the current news from the schools at Asaroka. We were also able to share with them in a time of fellowship.

  May God continue to bless the relationship between both the schools at Asaroka in Papua New Guinea and the Golden Grove Lutheran Fellowship / Primary School, as we are all brothers and sisters in Christ.
