It was during this period, in 1970, that traveling overseers John Cutforth and Jim Smith visited Munda on their way back to Papua New Guinea. Quickly discerning the potential interest at Munda, Brother Smith told the pioneers that it would be good if they could stay until a congregation was established. These two overseers diligently helped the pioneers to organize meetings. For the first time, songs of praise to Jehovah could be heard on the island of New Georgia!

Though Brother Taude died some years ago, the small congregation in Munda continues to thrive and regularly praises Jehovah’s name in song and in the preaching work.
