Description
In 1855 two German missionaries arrived in northwest West Papua. This was the Gossner Mission. In 1962 the Utrechtische Zendingsvereeining of the Reformed Church in the Netherlands took over the work. Dutch missionaries assisted by teachers and preachers from other islands. The work progressed slowly. In 1907 a great revival started, and there were thousands of converts The mission spread to the whole island. The period between 1907 and 1942 was gradual development. During the Japanese invasion no General Assembly were held. In 1956 the firest Synod was held and 7 years later the Dutch missionaries left the island. The denomination is the single largest church in Papua where about 30% of the population belong to it.[1]
Its motto is from Ephesians 5:8 " for once you were darkness but now you are light in the Lord, walk as children of light". In the areas of human rights and politics in Papua the Evangelical Christian Church in West Papua plays a significant role. It has a presbyterian - synodal model of church government, the synod is the highest governing body ...This Church is build up by the late Dr. Jacobus Solossa, the governor of West Papua since 1999 - 2004, as present to his village, Mefkajim, an isolated place close to Ayamaru lake at Bird Head peninsula of West Papua . He is my uncle, died in 2005.
