Acts 5:42, "Every day, both in the temple courts and from house to house, they did not stop teaching and proclaiming the good news that the Christ was Jesus."
Dear Praying Friends,
This month, five women from Village Ministries came to teach in our country.  Their ministry focuses on the challenges that women face from persecution to domestic violence and more, offering spiritual solutions through the Bible. Tahiti and her islands have grave challenges for women, where domestic violence is so common that many consider it normal for a marriage.  The team taught day and night in a variety of venues, in homes, neighborhoods, churches, and retreat centers, reaching women and children who were eager to hear God's Word.  The topics ranged from the Gospel, the person of God, the role of the Holy Spirit, forgiveness, and healing from grief and abuse.

The response was remarkable in every location.

At the retreat center in Punaauia, a woman was hiking past the first morning and decided to join.  She eagerly began taking notes and stayed for every session.  She later explained that she was listening to the pope's daily messages but was longing for more information about God and His plan. This retreat has given us an opportunity to start studies in Punaauia and even on the roadless back side of Tahiti where only boats can reach.

Earlier in the second week, over on Moorea, the team taught for four nights for the women of the Upper Room Church.  Every day the pastor would message us how much they all appreciated the teaching.  This church, along with the women's association, have given us wide open doors for further Bible studies and teacher training.

The children's ministry zeroed in on the story of Jonah and emphasized the personal nature of the Gospel.  We believe when others come and teach it bolsters what we are doing in our precious English Club.

The two studies in the first week were with the Maohi Protestant Church and then a diverse group of ladies from several towns on Tahiti.  Both were refreshing, joyful occasions in the Word and in the Lord.

Special thanks to our translators, Tepoe, Linda, Mayline, Mareva, and Aline.  You were all fantastic.

The five teachers, Win, Jackie, Ruth, Suzy, and Patti truly showed the love of Christ to the women of Tahiti.  Thank you.
