Selah’s ceremony was a time to celebrate, hundreds of people came to witness an event that has never occurred in the Tiale history…

Old and young call Selah, “Velulu”. This is her Tiale birth name… and the Tiale people proudly call her their “own”…

Next week, in the last video, we explain some of the culture behind the event…

Thank you for following us, and now Selah in our journey!

Bible School is well underway… discipleship and teaching are nearly a day by day… moment by moment event here in Tiale-land.

Thank you for your prayers!!!

This past week we had Selah’s Tiale ceremony!!!

Hundreds of people came from several villages to take part and witness this monumental event.

The Tiale people proudly call Selah “their own”, acknowledging the cultural significance of this event…

More pictures and details will be shown and explained next week!

Also, the Bible school officially launched this last week as well, please pray for the students as this is the first time for some to hear a clear Gospel.

This is the final interview (of this series)… this man feels led to possibly be a pastor of our local village. Please pray fervently for him as God continues to mold him into the image of Christ.

There are many cultural pressures that affect this young man on a day to day basis, and we are hoping to lead him through this in a way that glorifies God more.

The Bible School starts this week! Please pray for wisdom for us and the teachers, as well as praying for the students to be bold in their faith (shame is usually the biggest deterrent in their commitment to Christ).

We hope you liked this 8 part series! Thank you for following our journey and seeing how God is changing the lives of individuals!

This young man is also from Tiale land, but from several hours away, he and his wife are the only Christians in their village… the closest body of believers is nearly 4 hours hike away!

Pray for this man as he continues his journey, whether God leads him into pastoral ministry or the foundation for the next group of believers, he needs prayer.

We are getting closer to launching the next phase of students! Please pray for us and the 3 indigenous pastors/teachers as we are getting focused and ready to engage these next batch of believers.

Thank you for watching this 8 part series! 2 more after this post!!!

Things are starting to “gear up” ministry wise, and the Tiale people love Selah.

This student is from a sister-language group, and despite appearances, he is a ni-van, he just so happens to be an albino. He is from a very remote village and was the first person to bring the Gospel to his village and several others near his village.

Thank you for your partnership in prayer! Your feet to the Tiale people and the country of Vanuatu. Seth, Nicole & Selah Stokes.

We hope you all had a wonderful Easter weekend celebrating our risen Lord and Savior.

This student is from a completely different island and language group! The Tiale ministry is reaching across many barriers! Continue to pray for us, especially for Selah as she transitions to this new culture.
