God has been doing amazing things in WEC branches in the Oceania region in recent years. Several branches have gone from receiving missionaries to sending them out as well. With 65% of Fiji’s population identifying as Christian, WEC Fiji has been sending workers for many years. When they returned to Fiji from service in Africa, Eliki and Lavinia became the Fiji Branch Leaders. They soon discovered that other Melanesian island nations, particularly Vanuatu, wanted to send out their own workers but lacked the resources. This led to a partnership agreement between WEC and the Presbyterian Church of Vanuatu whereby the church’s workers are trained and sent through WEC. WEC Fiji became WEC Pasifika. In this edition read what is happening in this area and in our other neighbours, East Timor and Indonesia. Is there a role for Australians in these countries? Yes. Check out the opportunities on the back cover.
