Relief Supplies

As posted earlier we have been involved with relief work since Typhoon Maysak hit our islands of Chuuk. The brothers and sister in Guam we very generous as well as the local branch office. But we also had help from a elementary school in New Jeresey. The students from that school gathered clothes, tooth brushes and tooth paste, toys, school supplies and some other materials. We are posting a short video thanking the Thomas Payne Elementary School for their help and support. 


AUDIO TRAINING

The past two weeks Curtis was invited to receive training in audio recording at the Remote Translation Office here in Chuuk. It was a detailed class on the use of such programs as Pro Tools, and Final Cut Pro. It was a lot of information to process in only two weeks time. Jehovah's organization is truly amazing and producing some wonderful Bible educational audio and video products.

2015 Regional Convention

Our "Imitate Jesus" (Appiru Jises) Regional Convention was held on August 29-30, 2015. We enjoyed a peak attendance of 101, which is more than double our 41 publishers. This was despite having two days of heavy winds and rain. They rain was blown under the structure and at one point everyone in attendance moved to one side of the auditorium to avoid getting wet. We had a number of 1st time attenders who enjoyed the two day convention. One Brother had his Bible Study, who is blind, attend from the island of Tonoas. It was truly a very encouraging and spiritually up-building weekend.

Tom and Cindy Robertson are leaving the Moen Congregation for a new start in Florida. They have been with our Congregation for the past two years and have made many new friends here in Chuuk.  They moved to Chuuk after spending many years in Taiwan and China. We know that they will enjoy their new Congregation.


Food, food and more food.
