RCPNG - PORT MORESBY ASSEMBLY
Port Moresby Assembly is recognised as the biggest Revival Centre fellowship in Papua New Guinea with over 4000 Spirit-filled members in attendance on a normal Sunday meeting. Assembly main centre is at 9 Mile, inside the old Moitaka Show Grounds.
Brief History of Port Moresby Assembly
Revival fellowship in Port Moresby started on the 12th of May 1989. First meeting was held inside a family residence at Gerehu Stage 6, Gogosi Cress, Section 320 Lot 17, House 52. Pastor Herman Waminan (then) who was employed by PNG Defence Force (DTS) and attached at Murray Barracks was pastor in charge of Port Moresby fellowship during its inception.
Pastor Herman was later joined by Sam Wawako and his family who came from Onamuga Village, Kainantu, Eastern Highlands Province. This family heard about changes, miracles and healings taking place back at their Onamunga village. Pastor Herman and the Wawako family were pioneers of Port Moresby Assembly.
Sister Karo Kaiala Penny joined the fellowship a week later. She was spirit-filled in Wewak and was transferred to Port Moresby to work for Brian and Associates Company. Brother Vincent Wanko who was baptized in his home village of Karaite, Lumi, came to work for the Correctional Services with his wife Sister Millicent Wanko, and they joined the small fellowship.
Other people joined the fellowship in the likes of Peter Maiyene from Lumi and John and Jenny Ramoi from Suwain village, Aitape who were students at UPNG Campus.
The small fellowship in Port Moresby changed locations several times and finally ended up at 9-mile show grounds. Congregation members at that time were looking for a suitable venue to hold fellowship meetings. After Gerehu Stage 6, the fellowship moved to Gordons Teachers In-Service college. From there, the fellowship moved to Waigani Life Line centre. After several months at Waigani, the fellowship moved to Gordons International School along Henao Drive. Fellowship meeting was held inside one of the classrooms. From Gordons International school, the congregation returned to Waigani and fellowship was again held at Life Line Centre. After Waigani, fellowship was shifted to Bomana. In those early days, fellowship was held in various locations around the city. After some time in Bomana, fellowship was shifted back to Gerehu Stage 6. Congregation members were continuously looking out for a permanent location to establish their church. After much praying, God opened doors and the church was allowed to move into nine (9) mile show grounds. At nine (9) mile fellowship meeting was held under an old shed used by Port Moresby Show Society.
CHURCH GROWTH
Port Moresby Assembly experienced a revival boom when fellowship moved to nine (9) mile show grounds. People from all walks of life came and joined the fellowship after news spread of the healings and miracles that were taking place inside the church. Today Port Moresby Assembly has over 5000 spirit-filled brothers and sisters in the fellowship. An average of 30 people are being baptised every Sunday.
In 2008 a prefabricated church building was shipped from Australia to Port Moresby by brethrens from Australian Revival Fellowship. Australian brethrens later flew to Port Moresby and with helping hand from PNG brethrens, erected the biggest church building in Port Moresby. The new church building was opened in 2009. Members from assemblies around PNG, and from Australia attended the opening ceremony. Governor General of Papua New Guinea, Sir Paulius Matane was invited and also attended the Grand Opening.
Port Moresby Assembly has experienced a rapid growth in recent times. Today, Port Moresby has three Districts: North East District, North West District, and South District. 9 Mile Main Centre also established its own sub-centres at various locations. 9 Mile Main Centre established the following Sub-Centres: 6 Mile (Diari) Sub-Centre, 8 Mile Sub-Centre, ATS Sub-Centre and Gereka Sub-Centre. Port Moresby Assembly strategises on establishing more sub-centres at various suburbs within the city and outskirts as the Church experiences a rapid revival boom.
Revival Centres of Papua New Guinea
Revival Centres of Papua New Guinea Church was first established on the 01st of September 1982 in the remote Karaite village of Lumi District, Sandaun (West Sepik) province. The fellowship started when the first nine (9) people from Karaite village, were converted and got baptised (by full immersion) and received the Holy Spirit, with the Biblical evidence of Speaking in Tongues.
Revival Fellowships
The Revival Fellowship teaches that one receives salvation by repentance, water baptism by full immersion,and the receiving of the Holy Spirit. They preach the outward manifestation of a person who is filled with the Holy Spirit is to be found in the biblical experience of "speaking in tongues" as seen in Acts 2:4, Acts10:44.
REPENTANCE
To repent is to repair a wrong. The Bible tells us that there is none righteous (Romans 3:10). Having gone your own way, you have sinned, but now you have turned to Jesus Christ and have admitted or confessed this sin. The forgiveness of God is assured (1 John 1:9).
BAPTISM [BE BAPTISED]
Your restoration through the favour of a loving God is found through obedience. To be baptised is command of Jesus Christ (Matthew 28:19). The Bible teaching on Baptism is believers immersion, as illustrated throughout the world, and is not to be confused with unscriptural practice of sprinkling or christening. Baptism is a commandment to all believers (Acts 2:38). It is also evidence of true repentance and a good conscience towards God. (1 Peter 3:21).
THE HOLY SPIRIT
You are promised a wonderful experience with your Saviour. He will baptise you with the Holy Ghost and fire…. (Matthew 3:11). You are encouraged to receive this power (Luke 11:9-13). By reading and believing the many accounts of the Holy Spirit in the early Church, you will find great faith to claim this experience. You will speak in tongues as promised to all believers (Mark 16:17).

[Vs.38] Peter said to them, "Each one of you must turn away from your sins and be baptised in the name of Jesus Christ, so that your sins will be forgiven; and you will receive God's gift, the Holy Spirit. [Vs.39] For God's promise was made to you, your children, and to all who are far away - all whom the Lord our God calls to himself."
I baptise you with water to show that you have repented, but the one who will come after me will baptise you with the Holy Spirit and fire. He is much greater than I am; and I am not good enough to carry his sandles.
[John 3:3] Jesus answered, "I am teling you the truth: no one can see the Kingdom of God without being born again." [Vs.4] How can a grown man be born again?" nicodemus asked. "He certainly cannot enter his mother's womb and be born a second time!" [Vs.5] "I am telling you the truth," replied Jesus. "No one can enter the Kingdom of God without being born of water and the Spirit."
[Acts 19:1] While Apollos was in Corinth, Paul travelled through the interior of the province and arrived in Ephesus. There he found some disciples [Vs.2] and asked them, "Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you became believers?" "We have not even heard that there is a Holy Spirit, " they answered.
[Vs.9] But you do not live as your human nature tells you to; instead, you live as the Spirit tells you to - if, in fact, God's Spirit lives in you. Whoever does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to him.
[Vs.14] Those who are led by God's Spirit are God's Children. [Vs.15] For the Spirit that God has given you does not make you slaves and cause you to be afraid; instead, the Spirit makes you God's children, and by the Spirit's power we cry out to God, "Father! my Father!" [Abba Father]
[Vs.25] Then the Lord came down in the cloud and spoke to him. He took some of the Spirit he had given to Moses and gave it to the seventy leaders. When the Spirit came on them, they began to shout like prophets, but not for long. [Vs.26] Two of the seventy leaders, Eldad and Medad, had stayed in the camp and had not gone out to the Tent. There in the camp the Spirit came on them, and they too began to shout like prophets.
[Vs.16]Believers will be given the power to perform miracles: they will drive out demons in my name; they will speak in strange tongues; [Vs.18] if they pick up snakes or drink any poison, they will not be harmed; they will place their hands on the sick, and the sick will get well.
[Vs.5] When they heard this they were baptised in the name of the Lord Jesus. [Vs.6] Paul placed his hands on them, and the Holy Spirit came upon them; they spoke in strange tongues, and also proclaimed God's message. [Vs.7] They were about twelve men in all.

REVIVAL CENTRES PNG
Revival Centres Of Papua New Guinea (RCPNG) is a pentecostal church. We are affiliated with Revival Fellowships worldwide. We preach Salvation Message as found in the book Acts chapter 2 verse 38. We emphasise on the necessity for one to be born-again of water and the Holy Spirit.
RCPNG accentuate all believers to Repent, Be Baptised and Receive the Holy Spirit. John 3:5, Unless a man is born again of water and the Holy Spirit, he cannot enter into the Kingdom of God. In the Gospel of John, chapter 3 and verse 3 to 5, Jesus Christ the son of God Himself, emphasizes on the need for all believers to go through the Born-Again experience.

HOW IT BEGAN
Revival Centres Of PNG Church, started in a remote village called Karaite, Lumi District of Sandaun Province. RCPNG church was born when the first nine (9) converts from Karaite village were baptised on 1st September 1982. History of PNG Revival Centres can be read here. Revival Fellowship in Papua New Guinea is headed by Principal Pastor Godfrey Wippon. We have twenty two (22) Provincial Pastors who administer and coordinate church work in the twenty two provinces of PNG. Working closely under Provincial Pastors, are District Pastors and Area Pastors who oversee church work in their respective districts, villages and towns. Church work in provinces can be found under Assemblies.
MIRACLES ARE FOR TODAY
A prominent phenomena inside our fellowship is the manifestations of the Holy Spirit. When believers are being baptised, they come out from the waters of baptism and receive the Holy Spirit, with Biblical evidence of Speaking In Tongues (Acts 19:2-6). Another consequential event is Divine Healing Power of God. A good number of our congregation members are people who were miraculously healed from all kinds of sicknesses. You can read their testimonies here.
GIFT OF TONGUES
[1 Corinthians 14:2] Those who speak in strange tongues do not speak to others but to God, because no one understands them. They are speaking secret truths by the power of the Spirit. [Galatians 4:6] To show that you are his children, God sent the Spirit of his son into our hearts, the Spirit who cries out, "Father, my Father." [Abba Father - speak in tongues].
The angel told me to give Zerubabel this messge from the Lord; "You will succeed, not by military might or by your own strength, but by my Spirit. [Vs.7] Obstacles as great as mountains will disappear before you.
Zechariah 4:6,7
"God's curse on anyone who does not obey all of God's laws and teachings." And all the people will answer, "Amen!" This scripture condemns mankind to demnation if they cannot obey God's laws and teachings.
Deuteronomy 27:26
God looks down from heaven at people to see if there are any who are wise, any who worship him. [Vs.3] But they have all turned away; they are all equally bad. Not one of them does what is right, not a single one.
