About this ebook
Desiring to go to New Guinea began 8 years before the actual trip. It started with an article in the periodical, "The Messenger." The missionaries and local people start praying that God would send me to minister. At that time I didn't know where the nation was located. This is a true story of determination, passion and child-like faith. It will

Papua New Guinea, 1983 - Delores J. Dillard
Foreword
Delores Dillard is a dynamic African American on the cutting edge of ministry that crosses radical barriers and continents. She has been an active working member of Good Samaritan Ministries both nationally and internationally. She trains counselors and ministers for active field ministry locally in Oregon and also, very significantly, in several countries in Africa.
In her new book, Papua New Guinea, 1983, you get a new view and definition of international ministry. Delores is outspoken, calling it like she sees it, and gets the reader to not only think beyond themselves but to know why!
Delores had served on the International Board of Good Samaritan Ministries for three years, always challenging us to high ideas and effective action! As the founder and CEO of Good Samaritan Ministries for over thirty years, I highly recommend Delores Dillard as a must-read author! The challenge will stay with you no matter where you choose to serve.

Who Is the Author?
Delores Jean Ford grew up in Fifth Ward in Houston, Texas. She is the second of five siblings. As far as I can remember, she has always been the mature one. She has always been a little different. As a very small child, she seemed to know what she wanted and what she was not going to do. Back in the day, that was not always popular or accepted in the adult population. She always had goals. While the rest of us were goofing off or listening to music, she would be somewhere reading. Reading was her favorite pastime.
She began teaching Sunday school at Greater Union Baptist in her teens. She walked to church by herself—Jean and her Bible. Her faith in God was strong. We were blessed to be surrounded by so many Christians. She dreamed of the day that she would be traveling, even though no one in the family had traveled outside of Texas.
She has always spoken her mind; you never had to guess how she felt about anything. Thank God for the heart that he gave her. She has set a great example for the youth in our family when she decided, after raising a family, to go to and graduate from college. She showed them that it is never too late to accomplish anything you really want. She believes that everything happens for a reason and that God is still in control.

I have known Delores for forty-five years. She is a woman of God who has hungered and thirsted for righteousness and has walked by faith and not by sight. Her journeys to Africa and other nations have been as an ambassador for Christ and has represented us sisters well.

I have been blessed to have Delores as my friend since we were young women, just beginning life as wives and then mothers. She has remained true to her calling and conviction to God and then by loving people with her acts of love and prayerful devotion as a missionary. I admire her for her faithfulness and determined devotion to serve God with all her heart, soul, and mind.
