Greetings Everyone,
We’ve had a WILD time. THe weather has been AWFUL! We anchored in Liak with an on-shore wind and the boat rolled so violently from side to side that it cracked the dinghy by bashing against it and we couldn’t sleep a wink. We moved to another anchorage prepared to endure the 10 kms walk each way each day rather than the incessant rolling and the unneeded excitement of timing the violent shore break to get ashore.
Then it rained, torrentially every day and flooded the roads so that we had to wade through the various culverts to get back to Liak.
BUT the results here were WILD too. I had set out this year to teach Isikel, an illiterate young man with a great heart for God, to learn to speak and read English so he could go to Bible College. I expected to only get him started but to the amazement of both of us he progressed at an incredible rate and is now reading the Bible — slowly but getting almost every word and speaking again slowly but communicating well. He is ecstatic and I’ve left him materials to continue on with the help of his friend, including a KYB study on the book of Mark. We are both praising God and looking forward to great things in his life.
As well as this, we’ve visited three churches to encourage them and Phil and I are doing a tag-team preaching today at Liak — our last trek there before sailing on to Panaeati Island tomorrow.
God bless you all,
Pam and Phil
