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...

Jimmy was the morning’s main speaker (his first time to ever do so), and he talked about what he had learned from our study of the camp's "key verse" - 2 Timothy 2:22. Abu Iata (BTW “Abu” signifies grandparent) gave an overview of the camp from his perspective, emphasizing how important he felt that it was for the adults to continue the conversation. He then called some of the others up to talk about what they had learned regarding marriage, friendship, and fornication.
