Start of a new year

There have been 175 student applications to attend Londua this year with a few stragglers applying late. Not all the applicants will come but it is a good sign that Londua Technical College is regaining the recognition as one of Vanuatu’s leading rural training centres. We have on the books at the moment 3 work teams going to Londua to assist this year. One from Sydney, one from SE Queensland and one from central Queensland. They are going around June, July and September. The Vanuatu Churches of Christ Annual Conference is being held at Londua this year. During that week there is a day set aside for praising and thanking God for 60 years of service that Londua has been ministering to the youth of firstly the New Hebrides and later of Vanuatu. To get more information of this event please contact GMP office. http://www.inpartnership.org.au/ There is still a lot of maintenance work to be done at Londua including water storage, student vocational resources, teaching materials, building repairs and new staff houses and repairs. GMP has an Overseas Aid program called COCOA(Churches of Christ Overseas Aid). Donations to Londua Technical College are tax deductible. In the second half of each year Londua has little or no rain which impacts on the health and comfort of the students and staff. All students regularly wash in the ocean for months at a time. We are praying this year that Londua will have 2 wells drilled to secure fresh water for their future. God has blessed many young people through Londua for 60 years and is continuing His work through His people. Praise be to God.
