Last week we held our first clinic of the summer. It was such a great surprise to find that the majority of participants were younger (18-30 yrs. old.) It was a fun dynamic having their excitement and enthusiasm as we marched through the training. Sixteen of the thrity-three stayed in the training center with us. Every morning at four am they would start their devotions and then transition into a time of worship. It made for an early morning for our late sleepers, but their enthusiasm was contagious.
This weeks on-the-job training time was interesting. Steven, our trainee, Juanita, my jr. trainer, and myself spent the week visiting one family. The first day we meet Tiki (I’ve changed the names, but the story is legit) as he thought we were coming to file a complaint with him. Tiki is the only police officer in Nadi in charge of all of the crimes committed against tourists. After Juanita shared the whole gospel, Tiki prayed to receive Christ with us. The following day we went to follow up with Tiki and speak with his wife Sari.
Much to our surprise Sari was at church and unable to meet with us. After tea, Tiki  excused himself to handle a case, so his cousin Joka spoke with us. Joka was helping look after Tiki and Sar’s kids. After we shared the gospel with Joka, she prayed to receive Christ. Thursday we set up an appointment to meet with Joka and Sari. 
Thursday rolled around and we went to follow-up with Tiki,Joka, and meet Sari. Tiki was out, and we were able to finally meet Sari. As it turns out, Sari is a Christian and has been praying for Tiki for the last 8 yrs. What a joy it is to be an answer to prayer! 
Sari shared that the reason Tiki wasn’t home was that he was scared to talk to us. The power of the gospel has been convicting him of sins he has committed and so he doesn’t like to be around us. Please join me in praying for their family as God continues to work in their lives. 
Tomorrow starts round two of our clinics. Please continue praying for unity as we have combined the Australian and Interns into one location. That God would surprise us by what He chooses to do through us.
vinaka.
