Planting the Gospel
in Papua New Guinea
Josh and Rebecca Florence have been serving as missionaries in Papua New Guinea since 2014 — planting churches, training pastors, and building the next generation of Christian leaders.
Since arriving in PNG in 2014, God has been at work through this ministry in remarkable ways — a growing church, a Bible training institute, a Christian academy, and ongoing outreach across the Western Province. Follow along and be part of what God is doing.
The Work
Three Pillars of the Ministry
The Florence family's work in Papua New Guinea centers on three interconnected areas, each rooted in the Great Commission.
Berean Independent Baptist Church
Started in 2019, Berean IBC has grown from a handful of families to over 75 regular attendees. The church is the heartbeat of the ministry and a light in the Western Province.

The Florences
A Family Called to Papua New Guinea
Josh and Rebecca Florence began their missionary journey with a survey trip to PNG in July of 2010. After four years of support raising, they landed in PNG in February 2014 and have never looked back.
They are sent and supported by Charity Baptist Church in Cantonment, FL, under the oversight of their pastor, Dr. James McGaghee — a church that is solidly behind them and the work in PNG.
Their ministry is built on the conviction that the local church is God's plan for reaching the world with the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
