An Adventist pastor in Mount Hagen has received keys to a motorbike that will enable him to visit remote church members and further share the gospel with those living in the highlands of Papua New Guinea.

The 10-member church in Mount Hagen presented the motorbike to Pastor Leithan Kasimo on March 14. Pastor Kasimo is the pastor of the Hagen Park and Warakum organised church, two major churches in the heart of Mount Hagen. The region has more than 3000 church members.

"The new bike will be used by the pastor to visit church members who may need spiritual encouragement and to further enhance the gospel of Jesus Christ," church elder Paul Bep said when he presented the keys to Pastor Kasimo.
Pastor Kasimo and his wife shed tears when they received the keys to the motorbike, and described it as "a dream come true." Pastor Kasimo plans to take the motorbike to the headquarters of the Adventist Church in the Western Highlands region so president Pastor Benjamin Hap can dedicate it to the gospel commission.

The motorbike presentation also marked the end of a one-week evangelistic meeting conducted by Pastor Kasimo.
