Meet Our Team!

Meet out outreach team! In about a week and a half, we will be flying out to Vanuatu! We are getting everything prepped to go- acquiring all of the necessary medical supplies, preparing skits and songs, gathering things to do with the kids, and preparing our hearts for all that God wants to do in and through us! On our journeys, we will visit two of the islands in the south, including an island that will be new for Marine Reach, and then we will end our time in the nation's capital, Port Villa. We will return to New Zealand at the end of November! While we are out in the islands, we will be backpacking and camping in the villages, a very new thing for me! Some things to pray for: pray for safety during travels both there and back and between islands and simply safety in general. Pray for our health- even though we will have a water filter, the change in water quality will be hard for our systems to adjust to. There are also a lot of mosquitos, and though we will have bug repellent and our malaria medications, that is also a potential source of getting sick. Pray that we will be open to whatever God wants to do in the villages and that we would be ever listening to His heart and His prompting. Pray that God would do absolutely amazing things- things beyond what we can even expect- and that His name would be glorified in all that we do! Lastly, pray for team unity in our team, that no matter how grumpy we get, that we will still be unified. Love you all!
