What we do:
SERVE: God continues to bless us with open doors for church plants and new opportunities for ministry.So much so that we do not have enough Pastors and leaders to fill them. We have put a focus on leadership training and pastor workshops. We are currently in the planning phase for a Bible Training Center where we will raise up new national Pastors and church leaders to reach Tanna and beyond for Christ.
LIVE: We have a vision to see a growing church accessible to every people group in Tanna. Many of these people groups are not accessible by vehicle so a major focus of ours has been trekking. We have been strategically trekking to every major area of Tanna and God has opened up doors in ways that only He could do. We have found that if we simply GO where He leads, He has gone before us and prepared the way!
LOVE: We love investing in our community as a family and creatively connecting with villages and surrounding areas. One way we do that is to create opportunities for outreach, sometimes it comes in the form of a event or celebration, other times it comes by loading up the back of our truck with mangos and distributing them to villages that do not have fruit trees. We love working with pastors and existing believers to create opportunities to reach others and connect them with Christ.
