A JOURNEY WORTH THE WALK!

100 Steps Training | Audio Bible Study | Gospel Film

By Pastor Ropate Daubitu

The Makira outreach reached some of the most remote highland communities of Mwanawaba, Mandara, Nanamu, Tavetvena, Naripo, and Hunama, where access required up to 12 hours of walking through rugged terrain, harsh weather, and rising rivers. Despite these challenges, the team led by pastor Ropate Daubitu successfully carried out a combined ministry of discipleship training, Scripture engagement, and evangelism.

A total of 60 participants were reached, of whom 40 were actively trained in the 100 Steps Family Bible and Scripture Immersion Audio Bible Study approach. Churches from different denominations participated, strengthening unity and collaboration across the region.

The outreach focused on equipping leaders and members with practical tools for ministry. Through the 100 Steps training, participants were grounded in structured discipleship for both personal and group settings. The Audio Bible Study approach provided a simple, reproducible method of sharing Scripture, especially effective in oral-learning communities. The Gospel Film presentation in a remote highland village further communicated the message of Christ in an engaging and accessible way. Audio Bible devices and printed Bibles were distributed, giving many their first direct access to God’s Word.

The impact was evident. Leaders grew in confidence to teach, preach, and lead. Communities gained new and ongoing access to Scripture, both in audio and print. Churches experienced renewed unity, encouragement, and commitment to ministry.

One of the most powerful moments was witnessing the joy of people receiving Audio Bibles and printed Scriptures for the first time, a clear reflection of their deep hunger for God’s Word.

This outreach was significant because it combined training with resources, creating both immediate encouragement and long-term sustainability. The growing number of requests from other villages highlights the expanding need and opportunity for future ministry.

Sincere thanks to all partners, such as Bible Society of the South Pacific and Faith Comes by Hearing, for the Bibles and audio devices. Your support is helping bring hope, discipleship, and the Word of God to some of the most remote communities in the Solomon Islands.
