Thank you so much for your prayers and partnership, as this email goes out Seth is still currently with the Tiale people.
He will come back later this month, and immediately hit the road to share with some churches.
We are hoping to make new connections for this upcoming spring while in the states, if you have any connections, please pass them along to us as that would be a blessing.
We love to brag on what God is doing in Vanuatu, and we see God using the Tiale people to reach the country with His glorious gospel.
Thank you for the prayers, your feet to the Tiale people and the country of Vanuatu.
This is part 5 of 8… our students reflect both young and old, male and female. We love seeing how God works through them and teaches everyone differently according to His Spirit.
*Please pray for students as semester one is coming to a close, that they might stay faithful to what they learned.
*Please pray for the pastors-in-training as we continue to disciple them.
*Please pray the pastors and leaders of the Tiale church(es), as they desire to emulate the Christ-like model to their people.
*Pray for 2028, that when we start Year 1 again for the students, that God would draw the right people in order to reach the whole country of Vanuatu with the True Gospel
Thank you for prayers and partnership in this process!
Your feet to the Tiale people, and to the country of Vanuatu. Seth, Nicole & Selah Stokes
Taking a small break from our video series of Course 1; 4 completed, 4 to go. With hopes to share this encouraging message.
“Children are like a tree, planted for future generations to enjoy”. -Tiale believer
Children are a blessing from the Lord. We sometimes forget that, and with a slip of the tongue we say things like, “duty, not free, work, disturbance, etc”, in relation to them.
Every life is a precious gift from God, and it is our responsibility to integrate them into each part of our lives; home life, community, worship, etc.
As parents, we must show others our joy in having them in our lives… integrating them into our lives, not looking for every excuse to “pass them off” to others.
We are to nurture our children in such a way that they grow into strong trees, that one day bear much fruit (John 15:8).
Thank you for all the prayers, we just finished a few hours ago, the first year students (year 1 of 3). It was a blessing to see the faithfulness of the students over the past 6 months. More videos and details to come about them later….
The small granddaughter of the one pastor just got released from the hospital, and is now getting daily checkups. Her name is “Loline” for those of you who are praying. She is still just over 4lbs, please continue to pray for this baby.
Pray for the pastors and the pastors in training, as for the next 2 weeks Seth will be teaching, training and discipling them.

Thank you for following the journey God has given us.
This week is testimony #4 of 8. We will continue to share with you all how God is impacting each and everyone of the students.
This particular student is from another Tiale village. His wife gave birth less than 6 days before school started, and even though it was raining, he and this young mother came to hear and learn more about God over this time period.
Thank you for your prayers for the granddaughter of one of the pastors. I was able to see her in the incubator last week, and now the doctor has released this 4lb (2kg) baby. Please continue to pray this baby gets stronger before she and the mother come back to Tiale land.
Seth is back in Vanuatu, please pray for him and the ministry as he is over there by himself for nearly 2 months. Keep in mind, we are independent, no teammates, and live 3+ hours away from town or another missionary, the rainy season approaches, and so any prayer would be appreciated!
Thank you for reading our Newsletter and following our ministry!
Your feet to the Tiale people and the country of Vanuatu, Seth, Nicole & Selah Stokes.
