How ETS Ministry Impact Individuals

Christian ministry is not about comparison, popularity, or recognition. It is not a race to be seen or praised by people. Ministry is a sacred calling-an opportunity God gives to serve Him and bless others according to His purpose.

Every servant of God has a different assignment. Some plant, some water, but God gives the increase. When we compete, we divide the body of Christ; when we serve humbly, we glorify Him. What matters is faithfullness, not fame.

“One of the greatest impacts in my life has been the theology and message of End Time Swallows. Although I studied theology at PAU, my spiritual walk, preaching, and ministry have been deeply shaped by the teachings and values of this ministry. It molded my character, strengthened my faith, and helped me see the world through the standard of Christ and the Scriptures.”

Growing up as a young boy in the village, I never really knew what the future held for me. I was a shy person, not confident to speak in public. I preferred to keep quiet, speaking mostly in my own vernacular and sometimes in English, but never boldly. Standing in front of people was something I avoided.

Everything began to change in 2010 when I joined the End Time Swallows Ministry while I was in Grade 6. At that time, my only role in the ministry was singing. I joined the boys in the singing ministry, and singing was the only thing I felt comfortable doing. Apart from that, I could not stand in front, speak, or lead. I was afraid and ashamed.

However, as time went on, the ministry began to shape my life in ways I never imagined. Through End Time Swallows, I slowly gained confidence. I started to lead out in Sabbath School, Bible studies, welcome, prayers, and other spiritual activities. We traveled from one church to another, leading out in programs and sharing the gospel. That experience deeply influenced my life and ignited a strong passion within me to continue in ministry.

Eventually, this passion led me to Pacific Adventist University (PAU), where I studied theology. Even while studying, I never left the ministry. The End Time Swallows Ministry brothers became more than just fellow brothers in Christ, they became my true family. We journeyed together, supported one another, and grew spiritually side by side.

After completing my studies, I was sent to Aroma, where I served as a church pastor for three years, from 2022 – 2024. Every year, we conducted end-of-year ministries, and traditionally, senior brothers or elders would lead the evangelistic meetings. I never imagined that one day I would be called to serve as the guest speaker.

In 2025, I received a call from our Head Embassy President. He told me that there were no available elders or senior brothers and that I was needed to lead the evangelistic meetings. This was a great challenge for me. I prayed earnestly and said, “Lord, if this is Your will, and if You brought me into this ministry for such a purpose, then I am willing.”

With prayer and preparation, I accepted the challenge. I traveled to Jiwaka Province, Ulya District, and by God’s grace, I successfully completed two weeks of evangelistic meetings. It was an amazing and unforgettable experience. After 15 years in the ministry, this was my first time to conduct an end-of-year evangelistic meeting as part of End Time Swallows Ministry. It was both exciting and a huge responsibility to stand and share the gospel of Jesus Christ, under the theme ” The Revelation of Jesus Christ”.I thank the Lord for using me powerfully and may his name will be lifted up higher..

One of the greatest impacts in my life has been the theology and message of End Time Swallows. Although I studied theology at PAU, my spiritual walk, preaching, and ministry have been deeply shaped by the teachings and values of this ministry. It molded my character, strengthened my faith, and helped me see the world through the standard of Christ and the Scriptures.

Through challenges and difficulties, the teachings and discipline I learned in the ministry have helped me remain strong and faithful. I am truly thankful for what this ministry has done in my life. I am blessed to be part of it, and I am willing to serve in whatever responsibility and opportunity God places before me in the future.

Currently, I am serving as the Town Pastor for Sogeri Town Church, while also providing chaplaincy services to Adventist students at Sogeri National School of Excellence and Iorawari Technical Secondary School in Central Province, under the Central Papua Conference
