In Vanuatu, there is one day a year set aside to celebrate every child’s birthday, rather than individual birth-days. The whole community joins together to celebrate! We hope you like this video.

What do we do on Friday nights in the village? On Friday nights during Bible school we had 23 couples attend marital teachings. These couples were so excited to learn what it means to Biblically love each other and grow together. Check out this video to see more!

Many people have come to the Lord over this past year, here is a video about the first group of baptisms we had. Some of the individuals are Tiale people and some are from other language groups and even other islands. God is good and continues to build His church! May He receive the glory!

If you were to visit our village, you would have to drive three hours away from the main town through mountainous terrain, cross two rivers, to a remote area where you would take note of two major things; the development of the area (both the Bible School and village), along with the temperament of the people. One Tiale believer said it like this, “we have someone here in Mataloi (name of our village) that broke down our system… I have never seen this before… I have traveled all across the country, been in many villages, but in this village, I see husbands walking with their wives (not cultural), I see kids listening to their parents (not normally seen), and I see people talking about God’s Word and not caring about animism or the witchdoctor… this village is not normal, something has drastically changed everything here!”… Continue reading below…

Looks like the video didn’t post with the link… … take 2 :
Things have been busy at the Bible school, even though classes are over. Seth had two guys, Mike & Philip, come help with the building projects. (Thank you guys for all of your help-it was such a blessing!) Even with Cyclone Lola bringing lots of rain, they managed to finish everything without much time lost. They were even able to reuse the old metal siding. There are now 3 new dorms and a secondary classroom ready for Bible school next year! Everything turned out really well!
Thank you for your faithfulness to us and our ministry! We are an extension of you!
