As the Second World War reached Papua New Guinea, twelve Anglican martyrs chose to remain in that country with the people they loved.
They were teachers, nurses, priests, builders and evangelists – servant leaders who embodied Christ’s love in action.
The story of the New Guinea Martyrs is a living witness to faith, courage and the call for peace.
Today, we honour their memory through the Martyrs Gift – supporting education, strong leadership and brighter futures for our neighbours in Papua New Guinea.
