This past Tuesday we set sail for a island in the lagoon about 12 miles from Moen. Leaving at 7:30 a.m. with a group of 8 publishers we were going to continue to follow up on the interest that has been shown from our previous trips to this island. The group of need greaters have been working this island for the past several months an have a a few interested individuals that are progressing very well. One man in particular, Danny, has just recently retired as headmaster to the local school on this island. He and his brother began studying the Bible many years ago with a missionary who served on these islands for some 30 years. Now after some 10 years has taken a serious interest in furthering his knowledge of the God's word. At the beginning of his study this week he mentioned that he was confused and needed to talk about something after the prayer. He started with the words: "I am confused." Come to find out he wasn't confused at all. It is his neighbors and relatives that are confused. He said that most people believe in a spirit that leaves the body after one dies, but through his personal study of that scripture said that it was the source of life that leaves the body. You can imagine that his Bible teacher was very happy to hear that he was confused and offered him encouragement to continue and tell others about what he learned. At the conclusion of the study he mentioned that he often thinks of preaching with us in the ministry. We hope he will join us soon.
