?afta?: Introducing Eric and Shawnda...

In the national language of Vanuatu, Bislama, you will often be asked “afta?” - which means “and then what?” We originally set up this blog to chronicle our time in Tulwei Village (NW Malekula Island), and those archives are still available. Now that we're back in the capital city of Port Vila, we will continue to keep you updated on "...and then what?". We'd love to hear from you as you have comments, and invite you to check back in often. Thanks for your prayers and support! God bless...

Introducing Eric and Shawnda...

...of the ni-Vanuatu variety! We were honored that two Christian families here in Malekula decided to name their newborn children after us “so that we will never forget you and the message you brought to us.” Shawnda was born in January to Alsen and Annette, and Eric was born to Williamson and Massi in February. We pray that they will grow up to be faithful servants of Christ.

Having babies named after you is pretty cool--and also pretty sobering. Samantha and I have had babies named after us in Zimbabwe. It's quite a compliment, but we also felt very unworthy of such an honor. But it means you have obviously made a big impact on the babies' parents! That's wonderful.
