Life Change Knows No Bounds: A Testimony from Word of Life Papua New Guinea K imberly grew up in a peaceful environment until her parents passed away in 2005. She is the 3rd born in a family of 5. Immediately after their passing, Kimberly was separated from her siblings and forced to go and live with her uncle. At only 5 years of age, she didn’t fully understand what was going on and why so much change was happening. Unfortunately, her life was filled with mistreatment by her guardians. By fifth grade, she became pregnant as a result of rape by her uncle. She had no idea what was going on or what to do. Thanks to the kindness of one of her teachers, Kimberly made it through her pregnancy and gave birth to a baby girl in 2015. But Kimberly knew she could not take care of a baby at her young age. She made the tough decision to give up her baby… to her teacher who helped her through her pregnancy. After years of coming face to face with hatred, cruelty, bitterness, and abuse, all Kimberly wanted was peace, joy, and love. Now 21, Kimberly was invited to come to Word of Life Camp by a church mother and was granted a scholarship to make it possible. On the first day of camp, she found Jesus! She exclaimed, “That was the best thing that happened to me the moment I invited Jesus into my life.” She finally found joy that fills the soul, the pure love that only God can provide, and the peace that she had been searching for.
