Well , after a lot of preparation Kes and Ruby have gone with a team of 21 people from our church www.encounter.org.nz
to the Yasawa Island group in Fiji. It was important that Kes went because she started it all 2 years ago. Heather, a friend of ours was born there but left when a young child. Although Heather is now a grandmother she had never been back. Kes and I have been going to the Yasawas for several years. Kes asked about family connections and we made a video about the islands and her family. The video motivated Heather to go back. When she did, she prayed with some people who really felt the presence of God. A local pastor pleaded to Heather to return again with a team to touch the people. The current trip is a result of all this background. We celebrate the opportunity to help the local people experience real encounters with God.
