We arose early and after devotions, prayer and a breakfast of tea and Fijian pancakes our team of 4 headed out. Our first school was probably the most receptive of any we have been to yet. The students were right there with us as we spoke and were very grateful upon receiving their Bibles. The principal did not want to call a general assembly of all the students but was very open to us visiting each of the forms (grades) one by one. This took a little longer but was also a lot of fun as each of the five forms was given a clear gospel presentation. We arrived in perfect timing to our second school which also went smoothly. The general assembly took place outside with the aide of a megaphone which was a first for us here. It still feels somewhat bizarre preaching the gospel when you think that you are preaching to students who are in school. What an amazing opportunity! The teachers came up after thanking us for what was said.
We arrived at the last school of the day with time to spare. The students were unresponsive at this school but listened intently as each one of us spoke. They sang two songs for us in Fijian with amazing harmony. When we arrived back in Savusavu we laid plans for our next few days here.
John and Matthew arrived safely back from "snake island" so the team is once again back together. We will be heading out early tomorrow by ferry pass out Bible's on another island. We will be spending the next two nights on this island so reports may be delayed due to no electricity.
We are having an incredible time, and this is in no small part due to your prayers.
Please pray that principals would not try to hinder us and that we would all stay unified as we work together.
We feel very privileged to see first hand what God is accomplishing.
