Tony Dua - PNG

Tony Dua is Station Manager of Christian radio station Laif FM in Wewak. He is a single young man who comes from a village in the Highlands of Papua New Guinea.

Tony Dua's story 
How he met Jesus Christ and got involved with Pacific Partners
 in PNG 

"I didn't got saved from a crusade or at a church service, All I can remember is I was with some of my friends near the road, when a man came by and share the word of God with me and my friends and then asked us, do you want to except Jesus as your Lord and saviour? "We said yes", that's where I made the dicision to acept Jesus and that was in 1995,

In the year 1997 I went to did my Dicipleship Training School with youth with a mission , after I felt God was leading me to work with some kind of a Media ministry, but I did not know where to start and whom to work with. 
In the year 1998 I came across an American Missionary named Bill Chambers,He asked me " what do you want to do with your Life"? I said "I felt God has called me into some kind of a Media or radio ministry, but I don't know where to start". He took me to the Local radio station in Mt Hagen, a radio run by the Government, He helped me start a thirty minutes radio program which I did. That came on air every Sunday evenings the Program was called Youths Music Alive, the program is a youth targeted, I got some very good response from listeners. As the program continue... Bill left for Wewak to start up a Christian radio. 

Then in 2003 I had a dram, I heard a voice calling my name, I didn't saw anyone, but the voice said " we are now recruiting you to work with United Kingdom" in a moment they gave me some military uniform and I saw my shelf wearing them, I woke up and realized that I had a dream. 
Gram at that time I had no Idea about UCB Pacific Partners, so I thought It was some kind of a dream,But now I come to understand that God has called me to work with you, "Praise be to God" Isaiah 46:10, says He makes know the end from the beginning" Bill started the radio and then asked me to help him out, so I came over to wewak to help him, and from there the Lord Lead me to meet Gram and Pacific Partners which we are now. 

My vision for the ministry is to reach out to the young people my nation, who are into rascalism 
[rascals are criminal youth gangs found in the towns of PNG] drugs and other wicked activities, I was once in their shoes and I know how to communicate the kind of language, If God did it for me, I believe he will do the same for them also. 

I strongly believe we can use radio as a tool for evangelism and dicipleship. 
And diciple them with the word of God, I like the idea of bible study you have help set up in Tonga
 [Radio Bible School - listener study groups in people's homes] . We will use the same method here, there are many who have professed faith in Jesus and we need to diciple them with the word of God,"
