We are pleased to share news with you of two new sisters and one new brother in Christ. During our most recent trip to Southwest Bay, Aiel’s son (Jansen) and daughter (Lorenzi) were baptized into Christ. Jansen was a part of our original studies with Aiel and Nancy, and Lorenzi recently moved back to the village from Port Vila. Her dad has been promoting the church to her for months, and she had a long study with Shawnda during our visit. The next morning as we were getting ready to depart, Aiel tearfully said that he felt like a mother-hen, now having his entire family (wife, sister, daughter and son) safe in Christ.
The following week, Eva (in Tulwei) announced her desire to be baptized. She studied with Shawnda for several weeks during our last trip to Malekula, and has been counting the cost of becoming a disciple ever since. She is married to Alsen and Flexon’s youngest brother, Sam Pierre. We are hoping that he too will become interested in studying and obeying the gospel soon. They have two young boys - Samuel and Sylon.
