The Bible school has finally come to a close! What an amazing year it has been! The students worked so hard to complete this third year at our Bible school. It has been amazing to see these students grow leaps and bounds in their faith and knowledge of the Word of God. The three teachers (4 including Seth) have done a wonderful job coaching and mentoring these students during their studies. Our Bible school is the only one in the country of Vanuatu in the national language, thus bringing students from different language groups and even different islands. This is why we see it as an opportunity to reach the country of Vanuatu with the Gospel. Thank you for all of your prayers for us and the Bible school ministry!

Check out the video below to see what the last few days were like for the students. Stay tuned for an update on their graduation ceremony next time.

The ministry in Tiale land has been flourishing and the church body sure has been reflecting that! There have been many deep Truths taught recently and the congregation has truly been loving it and taking it all in. It has been a blessing to see them hunger and thirst for the Word of God and to grow in their understanding of our Lord and Savior. Check out this video below about the main church service in Tiale land.

We are down to the last few weeks of Bible school and the students are doing great! It’s been amazing to see them grow in their understanding of God’s Word this year. Please keep them in prayer as they finish up. Pray for Seth as he finishes out the year of teaching and continues to disciple the students and teachers while he is there. Here is a video to show you more about what Bible school is like. Thank you for following our journey!

The Tiale church is maturing! It is beautiful to see how the Holy Spirit is moving within the church. A new part of the service is ‘asking review questions’ from the previous week’s message. They just finished the book of Galatians. Young and old answered questions. The young man asking questions is one of the pastors in training. When he asked “Who wrote the book?” A kid not even 10 years old, raised his hand and said “Paul”. The service continued with questions like; What is the false gospel? What is the true Gospel? What is the purpose of the Old Testament Law? Not only are the Tiale people coming to the Lord, but they are also growing closer and closer in their relationship with Him in their search for the knowledge of the Holy One.

God is doing amazing things in the Tiale church! Praise the Lord! Your feet are multiplying and getting stronger! Check out this video to see more.

This past weekend the Tiale people hosted a youth conference at the Bible school. Tiale youth came from far and wide to be a part of this fun event. Many came to a saving knowledge of Christ. Even some adults came to watch and several were saved as a result. Stay tuned until next week to see more. See below for a short video.

Please continue to pray for the Bible School teachers and students, next week the final semester of Bible school begins for this batch of students…

The students are gearing up and the teachers are getting the supplies organized. We are thankful for years of training we have put into the local teachers, who are able to teach even in our absence.

We are thankful for local missionaries and the other indigenous Tiale people who are there helping to get all of the process underway as a team, seeing the goal of training the next generation for Christ.

Enjoy these short videos:

The Bible School is nearing the halfway status for this third and final semester for the students. By the end of July the students will be on break, following the national independence on July 30, and getting ready for the second half of their final semester. Come August, it will be full swing for the second half of the final semester and this will be a sobering time for the students in that they will graduate from the Bible School…

For those of you who have been following us for years, you would be familiar with Nicole’s medical history, and thus would be aware of Nicole’s unique situation. Nicole had a relapse (similar to 2019) shortly after the birth of Selah, and was hospitalized for 23 days, being separated from her daughter during that time. She is now on her way to a full recovery, nearing halfway healed….
