Sunday in Vila

We had a beautiful service at ICC this morning with a guest preacher Pastor Steve Blake from Life Changers Ministries.  

The wireless mic the ICC had been using had a major battery failure and it leaked acid into the mic and ruined it.  So NZ came to the rescue.  We had received a wireless mic set from NZ.  Several months ago our friend Chris a minister we know well in NZ had asked us if we could use a now defunct mic at ICC.  The frequency of the mic is now not available for churches in NZ to use. The answer was yes.  So we arranged for it to get to Vila. Shows you how God works as it was a blessing we had Chris' mics when the old one failed.

Pastor Dave with the new mic in hand, thank you Chris for the donation of the mics

This coming Tuesday is Children's Day in Vanuatu. It is a public holiday as well. So we had a presentation form our children's ministry during the service.

 After lunch we took Ethel and explored some more back roads around Efate.  We ended up at Mele Beach, we had a coffee and we enjoyed the harbour view and watched a group of children enjoying the water on a couple of inflatables. There were plenty of large yachts in the bay, only a few in this picture.

A recent addition to our road is this dumping of broken concrete. At least it is covering the worst of the sharp-edged tiles. Tony acquired it for free and has arranged for a grader to come and spread it more evenly, sometime. It is helping to fill the great lakes (which are currently dry) but probably most of it will wash away in the next big rain.
