Today we are headed to an island to take everyone snorkeling as a last fun thing to do before we head back home to see YOU!
We just found out that Paul (besides his bad back) has dinghy fever. This is a little like malaria but not usually quite as serious. It explains why he has been so uncomfortable. He needs a miracle and we know that God is able! Thank you so much for covering him and the rest of the team in prayer!
Can't wait to see you all!

Free days and HOME here we come!!
We are alive and well! Many of us have felt the recent earthquakes that have been occurring the past two days here, but there has been no damage on the islands that we have been staying at. We are grateful to God for protection!!
Presently we are waiting to board a plane that will take us to Port Villa, our first stop on our "mini vacation". Here we will be able to see a great waterfall and relax a bit. We will be spending two nights there and then travel on to Efalfal Bay Inn (Pango Village). Our hope is to do some snorkeling and diving and various fun things here. Honestly, most of us are counting the days 'til we arrive back in Yuba DO!
We completed pouring the foundation for the church in the village near Warlep. We were also able to leave them with the fixings for more concrete and instructions for how to complete the work in a way that would last. They were very grateful! It was hard work that we enjoyed, but we are happy to have some relaxing days ahead of us!
We were also invited to go into a hospital to pray for people and saw numerous miracles there!! We are anxious to share all the stories with you when we get home!
The Ni-vans had a huge Melanesian feast for us last night. Of course we had LAP-LAP! They also roasted a pig and chickens, so we are no longer protein starved! :-) It was a lot of fun! Johnny also celebrated his birthday in the bush on the 29th of May. He is hoping to celebrate properly when he gets back home! :)
We are presently healthy, but covet your prayer coverage for us as it seems to be an on going battle. Also, Paul's back is still a huge issue and he needs God to show up for him! We appreciate prayer for safe travel and we look forward to seeing you all on Sunday the seventh!!
With love,

Prayer works!
Dear Friends and Family,
We are really enjoying the village (Warlep) that we are presently staying at. It is right on the ocean and we are able to come back each night to sleep in our tents, so that gives us a bit more continuity.
Last night we got to travel to the island across from our base. Following our meeting we were eating lap-lap and actually enjoying it. We thought that it might have some chicken in it, but the bones were a bit long. Yep, you guessed it....we were eating fruit bat! Most of us decided it doesn't taste too bad! :)
We haven't been able to do as much evangelism here as we had hoped, but what we have done has been good. Most days are spent working on projects and nights are spent doing our drama and evangelistic meetings. This will probably continue to be the routine while we remain at Warlep.
Our plan is to join Pastor Dave in Pango Village a week from today. We are looking forward to that, but in the meantime are believing that God has a good plan for us to fulfill here.
Thanks so much for your prayers! We have seen numerous answers today:
1) We are ALL feeling MUCH better!
2) We have been able to steadily prepare for the concrete foundation for the church and hope to pour it in the next day or two.
3) We were not able to fix our speakers, but found some to rent so we can continue to do our drama.
4) Everyone has had amazing attitudes and are working as a great team in spite of cultural challenges.
5) We are continuing to see the miraculous and are able to share sensitively with the Ni-Vans.
6) We were able to barter with the transportation guy for rides the rest of the week in exchange for Leslie painting a sign!!
7) We had food today that we enjoyed, ie: lobster!
The difference we have experienced as you have prayed has been REALLY tangible! Thank you and please continue to remember to pray for us, we can't do it without YOU!
Love,

News from Pastor Dave and the team!!
Greetings from Pango Village, Efate, Vanuatu!!!
I (Dave) have just returned to Pango (our main base in Vanuatu) after a long stint on the island of Malekula. Malekula actually means ("pain in the rear" or "bad ass" island, as they would say over here! :) In may ways, it was a rough go of it. We were several times taken advantage of by the locals who KNEW we were at their mercy, needing transportation, etc. We figured they charged us 4 or 5 times the going rate wherever they could. Communications were a NIGHTMARE!!! Messages from us to the team from Pango to those we were trying to deal with were USUALLY twisted and distorted. We had CONSTANT setbacks, one time waiting under a tree by the side of the road for an ENTIRE DAY waiting for trucks to come pick us up to take us to another village. The Chief of the village kept saying he had sent the trucks, which apparently were detained as they waited for a river to subside until in was low enough to cross with the trucks! When they finally arrived, they were too small for us to fit in, and one of the4m had picked up an entire truck-load of people along the way who REFUSED to get out of the truck. The confusion that ensued was truly LEGENDARY!!! Too little time to describe it now. Suffice it too say that after waiting ALL DAY for them to get there, we had to PAY for transport BACK to Worlep village where we had come from, and try to re-negotiate transport to Lamap village the next day.
We also have had some sickness, with some getting the mysterious "rot" that some of the team came home with last year. I have a hole in my right shin about the size of a quarter, and can hardly hold weight on that leg yesterday. I started a regular dose of antibiotics, and feel a little better today. Warren was a bit nauseated and feverish the day before yesterday, and some of the team had BAD diarrhea, etc. with fevers hovering around 102-103 for about 24 hours. (Ten were sick with "whatever, whatever" including Warren, Ari, Leslie, both Lydia's, Amethyst; Barry, Mary and Kiethley (from Pango Village, who are all travelling with us) and two or three from the village we were staying in (Worlep). Paul was feeling "OK" - but had managed to throw his back out somehow, and was in quite a bit of pain because of that!
Despite all the "woes" of "Pain in the Butt" Island, we had some good ministry times. Costs of travel prohibited us from making it out into the "mid-bush" as they call it, where we had REALLY hoped to go. That's where MOST of the "men-bush" are living much like they did 1000 years ago, and have little witness of the gospel. As it turned out, we spent MOST of our time in settings where the gospel has been for sometime. Still, we have seen some come to Christ for the first time, as well as some healings, etc. that I'll let the team share when they get home.
The most FRUSTRATING factor is NOT the lack of electricity, running water, or funky tasting "lap lap;" The most frustrating thing that any of us had to endure was CONSTANTLY WAITING, WAITING and MORE WAITING!!! We would plan something to happen at 8:00 AM that would finally get started... kinda... about 10:00 or 10:30! We were about all "stir crazy" sitting around doing nothing alot of the time... and there was NOTHING we could do about it, except have devotions again. It was a little easier for everybody when we finally quit EXPECTING anything to happen, and just found something to do until things would FINALLY get going!
The day before yesterday, we were back in Worlep ANXIOUS to start our work project. Even the "sickies" were excited about the thought of being busied with something. The plan was to help them build a multi-use meeting house that could house guests like ourselves, be used for the church to gather "in the dry" whenever necessary, and also be used as a general purpose village meeting place for co-op meals, etc.
We had planned where to put it, measured the corners, given them money for the cement, re-bar and bricks (which we would have to make from a single brick mold they had borrowed) and were anxious to begin hauling up sand and coral to use in leveling the building sight, and mixing the concrete. the team was standing by "chomping at the bit" to get going Monday morning, but the nationals all acted like it was just the beginning of spring break. We had to tear down a make-shaft bamboo & thatch structure that was in the middle of the building site in order to start work, but when we suggested it was time to begin "demolition" they sweetly suggested that they'd like for us to WAIT UNTIL FRIDAY to begin, so that we could still use the thatch roof as a place to eat and drink tea!!! We couldn't believe our ears!!! (and were "all stocked up" on sitting around) - so we injected a healthy dose of American Enterprise into the situation by kindly telling them we WERE going to build something SOMEWHERE starting TODAY!!! They only questions were WHAT AND WHERE!!! When they saw we were willing to pack up and "take our show on the road" rather than spend another 5 days of "leisure" they stepped aside an let us go to work! HALLELUIA!!! It felt SO good to be able to work hard and get something done!!! It was like heaven to have a job to do that nobody could post-pone, slow up, or mess with! Of course, it only lasted one day, and the next day (when I left for a week of teaching here in the YWAM base in Pango Village, they were back to "waiting" on materials which Warren was off by rented truck to try to locate somehow and somewhere.
Pray for the team for:
1) Everyone to stay healthy (as it's NOT an easy place to be sick!);
2) The materials necessary to complete the work project;
3) Them to find a way to get our portable speakers working again, as they were dead and wouldn't recharge off a generator when I left;
4) Everyone to back up and not get weary in well-doing despite the many challenges of the culture and environment; and
5) Healing, deliverance, and spiritual breakthroughs for those prayed for;
6) Continued grace in teaching the people of Worlep and surrounding villages;
- Even the "Christians" have LOTS of cultural baggage, like going to witch doctors when their kids are sick, or the village custom that a women has the right during a certain time in her menstrual cycle to have sex with ANYONE RELATED to her husband, including uncles, brothers, cousins, and sons! They also have many who are addicted to drinking Kava and smoking Marijuana. (Lots of work to do in some of these areas!)
7) Protection from bad food and water, as well as malaria or the dreaded "rot!"
The team will be joining me back here in Pango a week from tomorrow, all VERY ANXIOUS for a warm shower, a flushing toilet, and a real bed!!!
Please greet the church family for all of us, and keep us in your prayers!!!

Happiest place on Earth!
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

We are learning to be flexible!
We are learning to "go with the flow" here in this beautiful third world country. Wherever we go we are expected to line up to be received as though we were in a wedding. They are very fascinated with these white faces of ours, it still gives us cause to smile.
The last two days we have been at the main base (Worlep Village) doing outreach with missions and night crusades through the local churches. The Lord has been faithful as we pray for people. Many have received major healing.
It has been frustrating trying to communicate with you all back home this trip and it may get worse before it gets better. Today has been extremely trying to our patience with the travel plans, but it has meant we were able to call you! We were supposed to leave early this morning for Lamap, but are still patiently waiting for a truck to take us on a three hour ride to our scheduled meeting. This will now have to be postponed to tonight at the Lewis Village.
The present plan, that may change at a moment's notice, will take us for the next few days between Urbif and Rano Islands for more ministry. We are scheduled to help haul sand and gravel here as well. Rano is also known as a beautiful spot for swimming, snorkeling and fishing, so we may try our hands at some of these. Following this our plans have changed and we will go back to Warlop village. From this base we plan to go out to the neighboring villages to preform our drama and minister to people.
We are trying to have a good attitude with the room and board here, but many of us are longing for the comforts of home! :) This morning we had grapefruit and corn for breakfast and a sweet potato for lunch. We are hoping for some dinner, but often the natives don't eat an evening meal. This is a bit of a challenge to our American mindset! We are hoping for the fish and bread to be multiplied!
Thank you so much for standing with us in prayer!
We love you!

Off to Malekula
We wanted to give you a brief update as we are waiting at the airport to fly off to the island of Malekula, (Warlop village) where we will be ministering for the next few days.
We have been having many adventures here in Vanuatu and are loving it! We were all totally amazed by the Yasur volcano and were able to stand right near the exploding lava sprays. You are not going to believe our pictures when we get home!!
One of the last times we did our drama and open air ministry there were multiple healings. One of them was a person that could barely see who got his eyes totally healed . OK, so that was even more exciting than the volcano! Please continue to pray that the Lord will continue to show himself strong through signs and wonders!
The weather has been very hot and humid lately. We got absolutely soaked last night in a rainstorm. It is difficult to keep things dry and get our tents functional again between travels, so we are hoping for drier weather ahead of us. We will be camping near the ocean the next few days so it should be a bit cooler anyway.
Some of us are a bit tired of all the "lap-lap", which is their national food. In our opinion it is all beginning to taste like burnt banana leaves. We are guaranteed to love anything you cook us when we get back home! :))
Prayer requests:
Continued safe travels-specifically for crossing a big river in the next day or two.
Continued good health - thanks for praying ...it's working!
Continued favor with the natives in each village and multiple salvations- body, soul and spirit.Thanks!
Hugs,
