Papua New Guinea Scenes

By Kadynn Williamson

“The Iski Church” is set in Papua New Guinea, in the village where I grew up. I used a picture of the teaching as a reference for my painting. One of our elders, named Jon, is featured teaching the crowd. Five days a week for two hours the Iski village would come together to hear God’s word spoken in their language. They were transfixed by the story of their savior. I remember seeing their faces as they heard the truth, so it was a key part of my childhood. I thought I would paint it looking a little more abstract because the moment seemed dreamy to me. On the middle post you can see the word “Goto” which means God in our language.
