Drawn to the Savior!

A desperate young man was "drawn" to the CEF office on Monday morning, May 24th, by the CEF signboard!  Kent listened to the sad story of this suicidal young man, Several times, the young man said the sign "drew him" to come to the gate of the CEF office seeking counseling help.  Kent carefully explained the wonderful Gospel story and the HOPE that can only be found in the LORD. The young man had been in church ALL his life, but he had NEVER heard the Gospel explained so simply. What a joy for Kent to lead him to Christ!  An Indian pastor came to continue counselling in Hindi and took the young man home with him overnight. Praise God...He used even a signboard to draw the lost to Himself!  That has been our hearts' desire!  Pray for this young man named Nathan as he is discipled to follow the Lord.

Congratulations, Jeremy!

May 10 - 15, Jeremy participated in a squash sports clinic in Suva. From 3 to 5 PM each day, Fiji's two-time gold medalist squash player of the 2007 South Pacific Games coached the advanced teen players. The culmination of the week was a round-robin competition. Jeremy is now officially ranked Fiji's  #2 player for both the under-19 and the under-16 categories. Way to go, Jeremy!

Dual Citizenship a Reality

April 28, Kent received his Naturalization Certificate and his Fiji passport;As a dual citizen of both American and Fiji, he no longer needs a work permit that must be renewed every three years nor does he need immigration bonds. He may now register the rest of the family so that Becky, Jeremy, and Katelyn can have Fiji passports as well. Congratulations, Kent!

Western Fiji Spared

Thank you for praying!  While the predicted path indicated Cyclone Thomas would make landfall over the eastern sides of both Vanua Levu and of Viti Levu (the island on which we live) , the actual path shows that the cyclone actually shifted course further east on Sunday night and Monday in Fiji which is Sunday,  March 14 USA time! When you prayed, God blew the cyclone further to sea and spared the most populous areas of Fiji from the full wrath of this category 4 hurricane. The smaller islands in its path experienced wide-spread destruction of homes and crops.The full extent of damage is still being assessed.

Truly, "even the wind and and the sea obey HIM!"

Battening Down The Hatches...AGAIN!

All of Fiji is under a cyclone warning as Cyclone Thomas takes aim for the Fiji group. It is predicted to be a Category 3, possibly a category 4, by the time it reaches our island of Viti Levu.  Because of the size and strength of this cyclone (hurricane), the path is unpredictable. If it continues on its current path, the cyclone will pass by Suva on Monday morning in Fiji (Sunday afternoon Eastern Standard Time). Suva is on the southeastern tip of our island. We live on the western side of the main island. If it swings inland, it will pass right over us.

Authorities are urging all residents to prepare as we will be experiencing heavy rain and wind, irregardless of the path of the cyclone. So, we are "battening down" both at home and at the CEF office. A skeleton construction crew is on hand to finish the plastering of the boundary fence today, to be sure the v-drains are clear of debris,  and to move all the equipment inside. Cyclone shutters are up; extra water and emergency supplies are on hand.

To tell the truth, it's the waiting that is hard. We would appreciate prayer for all of us in Fiji as we prepare for the worst, and pray for the best.
