Miracles in Papua

di Tim Lit (Autore)

kingdom campus, 2025

From hardened atheist to missionary—one family's journey through war, loss, and miraculous transformation. Henk Lit grew up in colonial Java, an atheist hardened by loss and survival. He endured the Japanese occupation, the terror of World War II, and the upheaval of the Indonesian revolution that forced his family to abandon their successful business and flee. Alongside his wife Johanna, he arrived in Manokwari, Papua, with nothing but hardship behind and uncertainty ahead. It was there, in the midst of sickness and struggle, that everything changed. Baptized in the sea and healed of malaria he had carried since his youth, Henk's life took a turn he never imagined. Together, he and Johanna began walking with the Hatam people—teaching, baptizing, discipling, and sharing the God who had changed them. Their story was not without pain: poverty, rejection, and the heavy cost of starting over. Yet in the cracks of hardship came miracles—healings of the mute and deaf, faith rising—and the birth of a Hatam church that would one day send out its own missionaries and receive God's Word in their own language. Miracles in Papua is the complete edition of the true story of Henk and Johanna Lit, told by their grandson Tim Lit from family manuscripts and missionary archives. Featuring over 60 historical photographs, it is both a testimony of ordinary believers transformed by grace, and a glimpse of how God weaves many lives together to shape a people for Himself.
