The Derrick Wells Family Missionaries to PNG
Ministries

Pangia Baptist Missionary School
PBMS was started in 2008. Since 2014 it has been run as an A.C.E. school. We average 200 students each year and see many saved through this ministry. Chapel classes are held twice a week and the students’ daily work is filled with Bible as well. Our goal is to give these kids a great foundation of education but, more importantly, a great foundation in the Bible as well. Each year our prayer is that no student finishes out the year without knowing Christ as their Savior.

Kikori Naval Base
Our naval base is located in the southern coast of Papua New Guinea. The goal of our naval base is to reach untouched peoples and those unreachable by land. We are working in conjunction with several missionaries across the county and our bible school students to have a constant presence in this region for Christ. This has provided a great training ground for our bible school students to reach their country for Christ outside of their comfort zones. It is an open door to those who have never heard the gospel.

Wiru Baptist Press
We started working on Wiru Baptist Press in 2010. The building went up and the first tracts were printed in 2012. Since then, millions of tracts and thousands of books have been printed in the print shop. We are also producing the King James Pidgin Bible and the Anchor Hymnal. God is using this ministry to get His Word throughout the country!

Radio – Bible FM 105.1
Our radio station was recently struck by lightning, damaging years of work. We are currently working on repairing the station. Soon we can again air good, Godly music, sound preaching, kid's programs, Bible reading, and other great programs. We are working to expand the area reached, raise the quality, and have more souls hearing the gospel through this ministry.

Pangia Baptist Missionary College
Bible School is the future of the churches in PNG. Without pastors and faithful men and women the churches will die off, and the people will not be reached. Bible School students receive 3 years of training on many biblical topics as well as receive many preaching opportunities throughout their time. PNG needs more pastors in order to win PNG to Christ! There are also a number of classes for women to learn biblical principles and how to study their Bibles.

Youth Ministries
Soldiers for Christ and Kids for Christ (KFC) are both youth ministries that have yielded much fruit! Soldiers for Christ is a weekly youth meeting where kids learn verses, songs, and hear the gospel. It is a great outreach tool and we have seen many saved who would never normally come to a church service. Kids for Christ is a 3 day outreach in various villages where there are games, teaching, crafts, and fun. This ministry has also produced some great fruit!

PMT Clinic
The goal of the PMT Clinic is to not only treat people physically but also spiritually. For years many have come to the Pangia Mission Station seeking medical help and interventions. The Lord has allowed us to build a clinic on the property to meet these needs. It is a privilege to help them physically and then point them to the Great Physician.

Other Ministries
There are many other things that go on throughout the various ministries, on a daily basis. You never quite know what the day will bring and have to be ready for anything!

Part of life on the mission field, in PNG, is also being your own plumber, mechanic, carpenter, doctor, electrician, and the like. A lot of time is spent keeping things running so that the ministry can continue. The roads are rough and take a huge toll on the vehicles. Keeping them running well is a constant battle. On the mission station there is always something being built, fixed, modified, or maintained.
