Lu Piper: Salamo, Papua New Guinea
Lu has been a missionary in PNG for most of her life. She is an ordained Anglican minister, who was last in placement in Stroud, NSW. Lu is a trained teacher and worked in PNG in this capacity from 1968 – 1972. She then was seconded to the Melanesian Council of Churches to work on a Christian education syllabus for Primary school students. She spent several years teaching in a remote indigenous community in Australia before returning to work at Gaulim Teacher’s College in PNG. Lu returned to Australia where she then studied theology and served in parish ministry.
Lu’s work is all about capacity building and empowering the local communities that she so dearly loves. She oversees the management of the construction of 18 health clinics on remote islands and also assists with administrative support for the United Church in Papua New Guinea in this region.
Her day to day activities include pastoral support and assistance with church work, minute taking and report writing, organising and managing resources such as boats and motors, trips to and from Alotau hardware to purchase resources and arrange builders to do construction work at health clinics. Lu is an amazing woman who manages a myriad of tasks in a challenging context!
