Dear Praying Friends,
We were able to meet with Kevin Heminway last night, and the
time with him was fruitful as always. He
has lived in Tahiti for more than 30 years and seen many ministries and
missionaries come and go. He has
especially seen the ugliness of Christian rivalry and competition, much to the
demise of the cause of Christ. We made
some steps and agreements about healing and reconciliation of relationships,
and about connecting musical artists and the Gospel. Additionally, we talked about materials for
the spread of the Gospel, including coins, Gospels of John, and Surfer’s
Bibles.
With Kevin in 2018
Our time with the Pito’s was a wonderful time of fellowship
in the Word, and I am happy to say that my study of French is paying off. They had many questions about the Bible, and
many observations about churches and pastors in Tahiti. Their table is always creaking with traditional
Tahitian food. We ate fried breadfruit, Taro,
pomme d’etoile (star apples from china), chicken in coconut milk curry, and
more.

So in both of these meetings and fellowships there was much
fruit in the Lord.
Tonight we appreciate your prayers as we fellowship,
worship, and teach at a home group in Arue (ah rue ay), near Papeete. This is mostly the same group as Wednesday
night, with a few additions. Again it is our desire to feed the flock here, and
identify leaders and potential teachers for further training.
Thanks again for your partnership.
By Courage and Faith,
Mark
