Today I would simply like to ask for prayer for the people of Vanuatu.
Tropical Cyclone Solo sits off to the west of Vanuatu and is currently moving through the islands of New Caledonia. It will not have a great impact on Vanuatu, apart from some storms tonight and tomorrow.
That said, from Friday it has promoted cyclone advisories on the radio and you can see some fear, or in some cases flashbacks to Pam, among the people. At church this morning, one lady, Florence, prayed that Solo would go away.
Please pray for peace for the good people of Vanuatu.
Last night we walked to a restaurant in Port Vila for a thank you meal for one of our team, Michael, who headed back to his home in Hawaii this morning. As I type he will be sitting in Sydney awaiting his connection.
As we walked along, every single person wished us a good night. There is no friendlier place on earth than Vanuatu.
We wondered to each other what people would think at home if we greeted everyone else on the street. The guys from New York laughed - perhaps they'd be accepted as another Manhattan nutter. Here though, it is so genuine.
