We are learning from the Ni-Vans how to be content with very little. The people in Vanuatu are very friendly. They are also very happy despite being classified as a very low income country. Apparently the Happy Planet Index ranked Vanuatu number one as the world's happiest place. They really are satisfied with very little, and they are definitely not a consumer driven society. They have given "Happy Meal" a whole new meaning! How much we as Americans need to learn!
Thank you for praying for us! We left our last post thinking we were going to be taken to our next destination any moment. Actually, we arrived after another 18 hours!! There is much black magic in this area and we figure that this must have entered into the equation. There just could not have been as much chaos and confusion over our trip without it! We did finally get some trucks the next day which took us over about twenty river crossings to arrive at our destination four hours later.
We are greeted everywhere we go with leis around our necks when we arrive. Entire villages come out so there is a mixture of people who know God and many who don't. We usually start with our drama, which they all seem to love! We have had some fantastic meetings and many healed, delivered and accepting salvation! Stephany had the opportunity to pray for someone who was completely blind in one eye and was totally able to see out of it after she prayed. People are also getting set free of Kava (their favorite drug) addictions. YEAH GOD!!
Presently we are headed to Urbif Island for more meetings and just sharing the love of Jesus! Thanks for remembering our travels in your prayers. It can be a bit challenging to say the least!
Someone must have been praying for provision for us since our last blog update. The last people fed us well. We even had beef, chicken and fish to go with our lap lap!We appreciate continued prayer for our health. A couple of the students have had a mild bout with the flu, but God has been faithful to heal them when we've stood against the symptoms.
We miss you... and Chipotles! :D
Love,
