There are 2 new Gap teachers at Londua. One teaches at Londua and the other teaches at Lo-one. They are good kids and take part in college life.

Prayer points

Please pray that the advertisements for 2009 Londua staff will get spread far and wide and that God will challenge His people to fill these positions. Please pray that the advertising for student intake for 2009 will get to every prospective student and parent in Vanuatu over the next few months. There have been some radio interviews, advertising posters and we are looking at placing some radio advertising this week. 4 teachers are now receiving government salaries for this year only and we have applied for 4 teachers and 1 principal's salary for 2009. If this is approved it will give us some welcomed financial assistance for 2009 and also give us some credibility within the government system.

The last night

On our last night at Londua the Kingaroy "girls" made dinner for all the students. Baked beans and spaghetti. After this young Keith got the students to play a few games like ship, shark and shore. It was a great time enjoyed by both the young and old. We found out latter that some of the students had never had spaghetti before and were wondering what to do with it.

It is all about partnership

The ED of GMP was welcomed warmly by all. After his talks about the changing face of Global Mission Partners the welcome grew a lot warmer. There was confirmation that GMP are here to support Londua Technical College as it moves forward and transisitions into a full technical college. Both partners need to work together to achieve this task. The Tasmanian team were great as they got to work on every job they saw. One job taken on was painting the outside of the chapel. Here is the finished article. Makes a difference don't you think? There are a hundred more jobs to be done but one by one they will be completed.

Special Sunday

We had a special Sunday while at Londua. Here are pictures of the three girls who were baptised down in the sea. All I can say is that these are the fruits of all your prayers. Thank you for your support.

A big 2 weeks

Hello to all. Sorry for the delay in my next posting but life doesn't stop. We had a great trip to Londua this time. The ED of GMP and I spent 3 days in Santo at a CC meeting which was a very beneficial time for all. The 5 from Kingaroy and Lyn flew out on the Monday and met up with the Tassie group who were just starting their second week. Food was good, weather was good and the work was good. A few opportunities for ministry around the local churches and with the college students. The Tassie group will not be forgotten for a while. There was a few nights of rain which was good to put some water back into the tanks and also a few cool nights. The ED and Lyn and I were part of the College Council meeting which was ½ and 1 day. Good time of discussion and decisions. I found out just before the meeting that 4 of the teachers are now on the Government payroll. Halleluiah! That was a welcome answer to prayer. So many little miracles happen each visit and I am so thankful. The new class room is ready for use. Here are some pictures. Thanks to the Tassie team and the Kingaroy group for a great effort.
