Our Sunday

Sunday morning we took our visitors to Freshwind AG church. As the road is very bad, we only go so far by bus and walk in the rest of the way. This church is on the very edge of the city in a rural area. They are building a new church as they can afford it, it could take many years to complete.

In the afternoon we went to the Ekoftau AG church, Russell was preaching , Robyn running the Sunday School program for the International Service. Buses do not go into the village so we are dropped at Erakor Bridge and we walk the rest of the way in, picking our way around muddy puddles.

Agricultural Show

Today we went to the Vila Agricultural Show. Thought we’d share our photos with you all.

 

 

 

Practice makes perfect

The children love to practice leading the singing at the Good News Club, this gives them confidence and makes them feel very special. These children do not go to school, as it is beyond  their families financially. Today when we arrived at 2pm  many of the children were already there, they had assembled at 1.30pm and  had started singing  while waiting for us to arrive.

Visitors

Sasha and Tim are visiting from Adelaide.  They are staying with us. The students from JBI are on holidays, but Alex brought his wife Rachel and daughter Ella to visit us and stayed for tea. Rachel comes from an island up north and had come down to Port Vila to spend time with her husband who is a second year student at Joy Bible Institute.

Good News Club

“Ginger” the puppet had a birthday today. He is now 7 years old.  He needed to have a birthday as the lesson was about God giving us a gift, Jesus. But a gift is no use to us unless we received the gift.   The children love Ginger so much, that he has been invited to a birthday party next Saturday.  Puppets seem to cross all cultural boundaries, as they entertain and help teach the lesson of the day.
