Day 6 (men) Awesome day

Day 6
Woke up at 6:30 and hurried to get ready because our first school is was at 7:30. we got to the first school and started unwrapping the bibles from there plastic covers. As soon as the sun came up it was hot instantly. By the time that we started giving out bibles we were all sweating buckets. One of the men from TX had a literal puddle of sweat.
 We were able to give a clear presentation of the gospel to all the students, It was Awesome!! It is such a privilege to give the gospel message to all of these children and then hand them there very own bible. We did three schools and close to 1,000 souls got there very own bible.
A bible like this would cost around 35 to 45 dollars Fijian and that is a lot of money for these people. So many of them will never be able to have there own bible because around here $ 3-5/hr  is considered  really good money. We have it so good in Canada, and the sick part is we think that we are suffering.
Here are some pictures of the children that sat in the sun for one and a half hours to get there bible. ( Think how many students in Canada would do that.)  and the last one is Josiah Peeling some sugar cane for us all to eat.
May God Bless you all.
John. ( Josiah & Matthew)

Day 7 in Fiji (Girls)

Tuesday, Day 7 in Fiji

This morning we left the house at 7am and headed to the church to load up with Bibles! Our first school today was a Indian school (East Indian that is, not American Indian!) of about 800 students! We were very well received and once again there was great liberty, thanks to your prayers! A couple of young people from pastor Grey's church actually attend this school, so it was good see them!

We headed back to the church for "Tea" and lunch and to wait for 1pm and our next school! Unfortunately my two "Beth" friends (Dalton and Caleb) love to prank right back so they handed us chocolate covered frozen bananas and we unsuspectingly ate them, only to discover that they were covered in Vegamite! A very disgusting yeast substance! Prank #1 down...who knows how many to go!! Serving God is the greatest adventure and I love the fact that this trip has been jam-packed with serving God, but also full of lots of fun as well!:)

While waiting to go to the next school we added 3 more members to our team! Kelly and Tanner are from North Carolina and Drew is from Georgia. They all just flew in this morning and will be with us for a week, so we are looking forward to having the extra help!:)

Our second school was at 1pm and was different. The kids were very quiet....normally they are very responsive and laugh at all the jokes...not this school! They were very quiet! However they all listened very intently and once again the gospel was preached! 

We are now done for the day and are back at the church for a game of volleyball and then off to Macdonalds for supper!

(Men) Day 5 - Sunday in fiji.

Day 5
Last night we slept under the stars by the seashore in the Small coastal town of Savusavu, Vanua levu, Fiji, At a house that Bro. Jonathan is taking care of. This morning we saw massive fruit bats that were flying around when we woke up. We then got ready for church service and did our bible time.
 For breakfast we ate coconut and drank coconut milk that I had picked up on an early morning walk by the shore. and we also ate lime that we picked off of the tree in the yard.
Brother Jonathan  came and picked us up and we went to pick up the song books and to invite some people that he had talked to though out the week. Then we went to his place and had Sunday school and church Bro. Jonathan preached Sunday school and the visiting American Bro. Dusty preached  the church service. Brother Jonathan is restarting the church "Lighthouse Baptist Church" in Savusavu.  We then drove back to Labasa through the winding  mountain roads. It is so Beautiful here.



We went to a church in Labasa for the evening service. These are the only two churches on the Islands that I have heard of ( That preach the Gospel). We had a wonderful time at the service. They are such good singers here. We then went to a brothers house for "Tea" which is our supper. We ate unicorn fish that they caught the day before. ( This kind of fish you can't catch with a hook and line like most other fish instead they have to "spear-dive" to catch it. Alot of people around here fish like that, they can hold there breath for up to 5-6 min.) They say that the chief eats the head so they gave it to me. I felt so important I eat every bit but the gills I don't think that you are supposed to eat that, but I didn't ask just in case they said yes. Them we went to bed so we were rested for the next week ahead.
