Our
time at Nguna as a team was such an unforgettable experience. We were all
stretched in different ways, and united like never before. We began our journey
by taking a boat to the island along with our luggage and Bibles. We spent our
first two nights at the tiny village of Nekapa on the coast, and began
administering Bibles the second day. We split off into pairs and went into all
the houses of the village- gifted a Bislama Bible to each family, and prayed
for any requests they had. It was an eye-opening experience to envelop
ourselves in a completely different culture- sleep on straw mats on the floor,
and manage the hot, humid, and rainy weather!
Each
day, we would wake up around 6 with the sunrise, eat breakfast, and set out for
our Bible distributions. We worked our way through four different villages over
the nine days we were out, and were able to take two days off. In each village,
we put on a church service and performed our skits, led worship, and took turns
sharing testimonies and sermons. Each of us have incredible stories of how God
has worked in our lives through conversations, prayers, and experiences on
Nguna.
We
arrived back at Grace House on the 13th- a few days earlier than
anticipated because it turned out half of the island had already been distributed
Bibles to. Yesterday we had debrief, and today we had the opportunity to help
serve at the V2 Life YWAM base about 15 minutes drive from Grace House. We worked
construction, painted, and helped out with food prep. On Sunday, we will be
staying at the V2 base through next Thursday for the last part of our Vanuatu
outreach.
