We wanted to give you all a brief update: Seth and 18 other men had a VERY successful outreach to several remote villages. They hiked for over 26 hours total in order to reach all the villages that they had planned to visit. They were welcomed with great joy as the national pastors were thrilled to have a group come just to encourage them. Many of the pastors were so overjoyed to know that they and their people had not been forgotten. The outreach brought such an encouragement to everyone! Some of the pastors they visited came back to the Bible school for the Chronological teaching course. It is now day 2 of the Chronological teaching in Big Bay! There have been more people (about 50) that showed up than previously expected. This has been a pleasant surprise! We have been excited to see the response from everyone so far. Please keep Seth in prayer, as he will be teaching for about 11 hours a day through Saturday and then preaching at another village on Sunday. Pray for him to stay healthy and for him to have clarity of mind while teaching and talking with everyone.
Pray for these people as they listen to the teaching!
Seth Teaching
While Seth has been busy with the Chronological teaching, I (Nicole) and Liz Pinero have been developing a discipleship program in Bislama for the ladies at our church here in Santo, Vanuatu. Our vision is to see this program used in the various villages that we are partnering with to advance the Gospel and seek to have mature believers making disciples that make disciples. We had our first class and it went really well! We ask you to pray for wisdom for us as we continue to write lessons and formulate a culturally relevant Discipleship course. This is such an exciting time in our ministry! Lastly, please continue to pray that God would solidify what He has for us and if pursuing a full-time ministry here in Vanuatu is what He desires. Thank you for being a part of what God is doing here in Vanuatu!
