Tamoge, March 23, 2026 — The Branch Management (PAC) of the Indonesian Christian Women’s Association (PWKI) for Windesi, Nikiwar, Wamesa, and Roswar Districts held its inaugural worship service at the GKI Elim Tamoge Church building on Monday (03/23). The service was attended by 18 participants, consisting of board members and representatives of women from various ministry areas.

The worship was led by Rev. Maria Wayar, S.Si., M.M., who reflected on the Scripture from Mark 14:32–42, the story of Jesus’ prayer in the Garden of Gethsemane. In her message, Rev. Wayar emphasized the deep inner struggle, fear, and heavy burden experienced by Jesus, which closely relate to the lives of women—especially mothers—in carrying out their responsibilities in family life, ministry, and society.

She encouraged all women to learn from Jesus’ attitude of continually coming to God in prayer amid pressure and suffering. In the context of Christian women’s lives, this becomes a calling to remain faithful in prayer, stay watchful, and surrender to God’s will despite life’s challenges. Rev. Wayar also highlighted the message, “the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak,” as a reminder that human weakness is not a reason to give up, but a motivation to rely on God’s strength.

After the service, Rev. Maria Wayar, as Chairperson of PAC PWKI Windesi, Nikiwar, Wamesa, and Roswar, delivered several important messages regarding the existence and direction of PWKI’s ministry. She explained that PWKI in Teluk Wondama Regency was established in November and has already inaugurated branch management boards in each district. However, she noted that the working area of this PAC is quite extensive, requiring strong commitment and cooperation from all members.

She further stated that the organizational structure is still being completed, as currently only the positions of chairperson, secretary, and treasurer have been established. Therefore, the completion of the organizational structure will be carried out soon to support future ministry and programs.

Rev. Wayar also informed that PWKI will hold a Regional Assembly (Musda) in the near future. In line with this, the PAC of PWKI Windesi, Nikiwar, Wamesa, and Roswar will conduct another joint worship service, which will be followed by discussions on ministry programs to be implemented based on the outcomes of the Musda.

This inaugural worship service serves not only as a first gathering but also as an important foundation for the journey of PWKI’s ministry in this region. Through this moment, Christian women are invited to continually reflect on their calling, strengthen their spirituality, and embody Christian values in family, church, and community life.

With a spirit of unity and perseverance in prayer, PAC PWKI Windesi, Nikiwar, Wamesa, and Roswar is expected to grow into a strong ministry platform, capable of responding to the spiritual and social needs of Christian women amidst the dynamics of community life.
