These past two weeks have been incredible! The Lord is moving in some amazing ways here in Fiji! Below are some pictures showing you different parts of life here! Thank you so much for your prayers!
I had the opportunity to go to one of my students' (Soohyun) house to share the gospel with the 10 korean high school students who are studying here in Fiji and living with her family! Brian and Jenny joined me, and we saw the Lord use us to lead 5 students to Christ! Soohyun is going to begin leading the students who are interested in a weekly Bible study at her house! The boy to the left of the picture, Tyson, accepted Christ, as well as Jessica, the girl to my right!
A picture of our whole group at Soohyun's house!
We had a STINT Team Decathlon last weekend. It consisted of ten different events, and it was a ton of fun! For over four hours we competed in the 100m dash, triple jump, chubby bunny, cup stacking, and many more! The above picture shows how competitive our men are...and they proved themselves worthy. Dave got 1st place, Brian 2nd, Kori stood strong for us girls and grabbed a hold of 3rd place, while the rest of us were close behind!
This is why she got bronze...she's intense!
My track and field background came in handy in the 100m dash as I swept 3rd place!
A few days later we hosted a Student Life training day! Over 30 students came out Monday morning during their semester break and attended a discipleship talk given by Dave and Brian. We then had lunch, and encouraged the students to choose to attend one of three seminars (Evangelism, Leading Follow-Up Bible Studies, and Leading Small Group Bible Studies). Rob and I led the Follow-up Seminar (pictured above). It was so fun! Students were so excited to learn how to help other students dig deeper into the Bible and learn more about what it looks like to follow the Lord!
The following day, we loaded a bus with over 40 students and headed up the coast to visit "Coral Coast Christian Camp." This is where we will be hosting our Student Conference at the end of June. We were able to combine hanging out with students and getting out of Suva while taking close notes of the facility that will help us plan the conference! We are praying for over 100 students to attend! Above is a picture of Jenny with some sweet girls we got to hang out with during the day!
From L to R; Charlotte, Annie and Judith! Charlotte and Judith are form the island of Vanuatu and are 3rd years at USP. Annie is a 1st year, and actually spent most of her life living in California but moved back to Fiji to attend University. Jenny got to meet with her during the first week of classes and she accepted Christ! She has been growing in her faith ever since and is so excited to continue meeting with Jenny for Bible study and discipleship! It's so cool how the Lord brought both Annie and Jenny to Fiji so Annie could hear the Gospel!!
This past weekend, we invited the women of Student Life to come over to our apartment for a Girls Night! Nearly 20 girls showed up! We made homemade pizza and served cookies! The girls were all over the place! Some were out on the deck playing the guitar with Kori, others were sitting on the coaches, some were having a dance party with Jenny, a few were helping wash dishes, and the rest were sitting on my bed just chatting. After a while we gathered the troops together and took over the streets of Suva as we headed down to the cinema. We treated them to see the movie "Rio" (movies are super cheap here...it's awesome!). They all loved it, and were laughing the whole way through it! It was such a fun time. I got a lot of text messages afterwards telling me how much they appreciated the night, and loved hanging out with everyone!
An example of how the girls seem to take over our small apartment! It's a great thing, though!
Shareeza and Soohyun! Such sweet girls I LOVE meeting with and going through Follow-up Bible studies with! Their hearts are SO eager to learn more about the Lord and how to follow Him with their lives!
Shareeza, myself and Lannie (a 3rd year student at USP that I get to disciple this year!) at the 3D Rio movie! So fun!!
