This morning a special service was held at Pango Family Worship Center to honour the new chief of Pango Village. The previous chief had held his position for 49 years but stepped down due to ill health. The new chief was installed two weeks ago at a special ceremony in the village. He had been one of the founding members of the church many years ago.
The Chief and some of his counsel sang a hymn “a cappella” in their village language. After the church service, there was a feast to honour the chief and many gifts were given to him and his wife.
The Chief plays a very important role in Vanuatu Village life. He is very respected.
