Time to go

Lyn has a bad back and the doctor said that she has to stay home. She is not happy! Through some intervention from above I have a meeting on Saturday morning with a person who is heavily involved in technical training in Vanuatu. It will be good to get some information on the future direction of technical training in Vanuatu. AusAid are assisting in the development and upgrading of Vanuatu's technical training program and it helpful to know where it is heading so that Londua can aim in a similar direction. Please pray that the meetings will be fruitful and thank God for his guidance. Pray for the Conference office staff and the Londua Technical College School Council in their partnership of moving Londua forward. There is a group of 4 men from Toowoomba heading to Londua this Friday for 2 weeks. They will continue the work on from where the last Toowoomba group finished. It is very supportive to have many willing hands to share the work. With all the effort that people are putting into Londua it is great that God has a plan for next year and beyond. Thanks for your support.

Off again

It has been a while since my last post. Londua has a draft proposal / business plan for the next 3 years. It is in draft form and when it is modified and approved by all I will give you a look. We are heading to Vila on Friday and to Londua on Monday. We will have a bloke from a Sydney church coming to have a look in preparation for their work trip to Londua at Christmas. Met the ED of GMP for a brief time yesterday and we had some good discussion.
IMPORTANT
Please pray for the discussions and decisions that will be made about Londua Technical College over the next few weeks in regard to staff positions for next year, securing of salaries from the government for Londua teachers and for the recognition by the government of the value of Londua Technical College as it continues to provide high quality technical training to the rural students and community. Thank you.

Back in town

Hi all. Have been in NSW for a joinery conference and it was information overload. Took our Ni-Vanuatu daughter to the snow for half a day. She is still thawing out! Am finishing the written proposal for Londua Technical College for next year. It is a bit time consuming to get all the words in the correct order. The Toowoomba team will be back home by now. Will be interesting to hear what went wrong or didn't turn up. There is always something. That's what makes it so much fun. Talked to the electrician and he was challenged in many ways but came through with flying colours. We are booking our next trip for early next month and then for mid Sept. I need to get back to work on the proposal. Welcome home Sarah.
