In the morning all the participants went to the Parliament House for the Prayer session. The Prayers were offered at the Parliament house by the Head Bishop of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Papua New Guinea whilst the pastors uphold the work of the Government in their hearts through prayers. The 9th National Pastor’s Conference provides the opportunity for the Lutheran Pastors to go into the parliament house to offer their prayers for the Government of the day and for the many leaders for the years to come.

After the prayers all marched to the in door stadium for a combine service with Holy Communion, attended by all the Lutheran Pastors with their spouses and the multitude of Christian members of the Papua District in the National Capital District.

The Head Bishop, Rt. Rev. Giegere Wenge addressed the multitudes during the worship service at the indoor stadium. In his sermon he stressed the importance of the question that Jesus asked his disciples about who he really was. “Others say that I am a prophet…what about you? what do you say that I am? The pastors preached the Gospel but do they really know who Jesus is or else all their efforts and sufferings shall all be in vain.”
