A Trip To Pohnpei
When I arrived in Pohnpei, I was met at the airport by Isauo, the national director for Every Home for Christ (EHFC) and their workers. Brother Daniel, the Pacific regional director for EHFC, whom
I met in Vanuatu last year, arranged for me to teach here in their Bible school. In many Pacific islands

It hasn’t bothered me to walk through mud to class. It hasn’t bothered me to live with dirt and bugs. That’s truly grace!
The people, even though they might seem shy, smile freely when you smile at them. They are very warm and friendly. They are beautiful people.
It rains and rains and rains here! There are times when the sun comes out, and even a couple of days it has been sunny most of the day, but there is certainly as much rain as there is sun. And when it rains, it pours! The rain starts so suddenly in a downpour that it is like someone turned on a
