Well after two weeks we have now had our first
Thankfully this was not due to doctrinal differences but for logistical reasons!
In my group there is Bro. Joe (the man we were working with in Lobasa), Bro. Tore, and myself.
I must add it has been very refreshing to have Bro. Joe back in our midst.
Bro. Joe is no-nonsense and well organized. He formerly played rugby for team Fiji so many people recognize him here from this. When he gives his testimony in the schools the kids seem almost spellbound as they listen. His past history playing for team Fiji and ability to speak fluent Fijian are two great inroads he has with the people here.
Our groups left from Suvasuva and split ways at the bottom of Natewa Bay.
We headed into the jungle loaded to the teeth with the Bibles. The overcast skies were making our plans of camping outdoors less likely and our cramped Jeep the more promising option.
We stopped at two of the last schools we would be visiting the next day to unload Bibles and lighten our load. Along our way we picked up Pastor Vili who pastors a Bible Church here on the island. Bible churches would be very similar to a Gospel Hall. After eating wonderful meal at his house we continued on our way up the side of the Bay. By then it had begun to rain steady; so Pastor Vili used his connections and we were able to spend the night in the home of Filomena, a school teacher. After tea and fellowship we went to bed early so we would be well rested for the next day.
