“Auā e faaolaina i latou uma o e valaau i le suafa o le Ali . O lenei, pe faapefea ona latou valaau atu i le ua latou
le faatuatua i ai? Pe faapefea foi ona latou faatuatua i le ua latou le faalogo atu i ai? Pe faapefea foi
ona latou faalogo atu, pe a leai se tala’i atu? Pe faapefea foi ona latou tala’i atu, pe afai ua le aauina atu i latou? (Roma 10:13-15)
“For anyone who calls on the name of the Lord wil be saved. But how can they call on him to save them unless they
believe in him? And how can they believe in him if they have never heard about him? And how can they hear
about him unless someone tells them? And how wil anyone go and tell them without being sent?” (Romans 10:13-15)
Grace and peace to you all from God our
Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

from the Word of God. We have meditated on
these verses over the past month and more
than ever, it’s like God has made these verses
come alive in our hearts. I believe this word is
for US all...people will never know the reality,
the goodness, the love of God unless WE step
out by faith and tell them. God is calling all of
us to fulfil the great commission!
The past 3 months was a full-on and busy time
for the church and the bible college. As a
church we hosted many visitors who came from
NZ, Australia, Korea and USA all on their
mission sent by God.

We started our new roles at the Bible College in
August. Dan was appointed the role of ‘Dean of
Students’ – a pastoral role and oversees the
daily running of school life. I am currently
working as the School Administrator, trying to
set up office systems and looking after school
library. I will assist with in the running of our
new computer class and will eventually do
some teaching here at the school. In such a
short time, God has knitted our hearts with the
students and the staff.
Thank you again to all our prayer partners and
to those families who have joined our mission
through financial support. We pray for God’s
abounding grace to be with you at all times.
Thought for this month.... “how will they know,
unless they believe, unless they hear, unless
someone tells them, unless we GO!”
