Day 2 Fiji 2010


We are truly blessed to be here today. We spent the Sunday morning worshiping with our sisters in Christ here at Home of Hopes campus. One of the girls played the guitar as we sang a few songs in English. Courtney, Dorothy and P. Mat shared some insightful testimonies and words of encouragement. Four of the girls blessed us with a song they had prepared last night and also shared their hearts a bit, which are beautiful by the way. We were then given the treat of hearing the girls as they raised their voices as one while singing a song in the native language. It was truly beautiful. God moved and many were blessed, which was evident in the tears of joy. :) Lunch was served in the open air dining hall with many of the girls and their children present eating and laughing with us. One great thing about the culture here in Fiji and especially here on campus is the spirit of joy and laughter and joking. We feel very comfortable conversing with these light hearted ladies. All the children running around are adorable and so advanced and intuitive. The slightly older ones can carry on full conversations in English and are curious and very informative. I personally have been extremely impressed at the maturity of all the children here. The mother's are kind and very patient and they allow their children more freedom to move about the campus and to be free than is typical in the USA. As I type the team is busy working in the hot humidity on the construction project at hand. I will continue to keep you updated. Don't forget to leave a comment. :)

Day 1 Fiji 2010



We arrived safely in FIJI with no issues at all along the way. God is good! We have had a day full of meeting new people and for some of us, reconnecting with old friends here at Home of Hope campus. The campus is full of smiling faces and friendly, good humored folks that are a real joy to be around. The time here is slow paced and people oriented instead of go go go like many of us are used to. Personally, I have tried to assimilate into the culture immediately as much as possible from walking around the campus bare foot to eating everything they have to offer. It is refreshing to be here. Some of us spent the day visiting with the girls while others (the guys) spent the day laying tile in the school house. As I type we just finished eating dinner and are ready to go join the birthday festivities including dancing and much laughter. Please continue to pray for us and check back each day for updates!

Perry Noble

Tonight was the first session of many through the end of the week. Perry Noble spoke Brilliantly this evening ... He reminds me of Adrian Despres a little. I like it. Here's a few highlights of what I heard tonight.

The backdoor is not the enemy of the church, but a blessing.

As leaders ... are we prostitutes or Prophets?

Leadership is finding out what God wants you to do and doing it.

Every Pastor worth his salt in ministry feels it constantly ... there's no escaping the weight of your people.

We should be expecting God to do miraculous things through our churches ... nothing less.
