Our Family Camp in Tonga
a rare and significant local event

Wonderful times of worship during the camp
Refreshing times of worship

Last weekend Pacific Partners held a camp in Tonga for our home study group leaders, radio staff and their families. It was organized by Loni 'Akolo (our Tongan discipleship and pastoral care leader) and his local committee that helps oversee the home Bible study groups, discipleship and pastoral care of our radio listeners.

 

They planned; fund-raised; prayed (most of all, prayed) for months. Tonga is a poor country and most people don't have much money. So vegetable were grown and sold on the road side . . . Meals cooked and sold at local events . . . and enough money was raised to hire a modern facility and provide all the food so our people could attend free of charge.  

a lot of prayer during the camp
The Lord touched many hearts during times of ministry

 

Pastor Kevin Nichol from New Zealand was the main speaker and there were breakout sessions by Loni and Willy Florian (radio manager). 

 

Chris, a young man who came with Pastor Kevin, shared his powerful testimony and ministered to the youth. Theresa Llorente (Child Evangelism Fellowship in Tonga) ran special sessions for the children. 

 

An amazing time of spiritual growth and fellowship.

If you have ever been to Tonga you will know how rare and significant it is to have people from different traditions joining together for spiritual activities. 

 

Praise the Lord! This is one good indication of the growing spiritual maturity of the local people, and the effectiveness of Pacific Partners.

Look how far
our faithful Lord has brought us  
     

I think back on those hard, early years. Laboring in a foreign land. Mostly alone. Always praying for the fulfillment of Christ's commission (Matthew 28:18-20). Knowing this was the only hope for this proud and religious nation. 

Look how far the Lord has brought us!

The work has grown into a large and vibrant move of the Holy Spirit. Local leaders are stepping forward to lead and serve their own people. The God-given dream is being fulfilled! 

 

May God bless you
for your continued support!
