En Route to Port Vila

We are presently waiting on Pentecost Island to go back to Port Vila where we will be for a couple of days of ministry before heading to Fiji for some R&R, then we will start the long trek home. Thank you for praying for our travel today. We were able to all get on the same plane which was a miracle! We did have a bit of an adventure with the boat rides over to the island. It was still quite windy. Some of us got to travel in style with some American tourists on their yacht. This prevented the main boat from being over crowded and dangerous.

We were able to baptize seven people yesterday following the services and had three people healed after our drama presentation. One of the officials from the Anglican church was healed and baptized and very receptive to the Holy Spirit.

Chief Nelson and the tribe gave us a farewell party last night. It included speeches, flower leis, and a feast of pig, curry and lap lap. It was a lot of fun. Maewo is one of the most beautiful places on earth and we have enjoyed it immensely. The snorkeling and coral reefs are some of the most amazing in the world and we have enjoyed the privilege of seeing God's wonderful creation up close and personal!

Please continue to pray for our last days of ministry here and all the travel we will be doing in the next few days. Thanks so much!
