The Call from the Pacific
Suva, Fiji – On the lush green island of Fiji, set in the midst of the Pacific Ocean, a group of Christian teachers invited WorldTeach to teach and train them in Walk Thru the Old Testament. Sixty-eight turned up for the seminar on the first day. Amongst them was an elder from a Brethren church who is also a kind of senior church leader amongst the church in Fiji. A missionary teacher from New Zealand who went on a mission tour of Yunnan initiated this invitation to WorldTeach. There she met a couple of missionaries from the US who loaned her the textbook on 7 Laws of the Learner. She literally devoured that book and made copious notes and returned back to Fiji. She lost contact with her missionary friends but managed to track down the website of Walk Thru the Bible and from there, contacts were made with our regional office. Subsequently, they invited us to conduct the Walk Thru the Old Testament for their Christian teachers.
This may just be the humble beginning of launching WorldTeach in this island nation, a nation whose first love is rugby more than anything else. With contacts made and connection for future partnership secured, we look forward to move along in paving the way for a launch in Fiji and from Fiji to other nations in the Pacific area.
“God is so good!’ Sailosi Baleisolomone said, “In bringing our dear friends here to teach us this seminar.” He continued, “I have committed myself to read the bible regularly and to learn to obey God in my personal life.” Sailosi’s commitment echoed the desires and commitments of the majority of the participants.
On the second day, a specially selected group of eight was trained to teach WTOT.
