Getting the word out about the Word!

by Martha

I have been having tons of fun using my creative juices to find ways to promote the Pijin Bible that will be launched here next July on the 30th anniversary of Solomon Islands Independence.

One way to promote the Pijin Scriptures and the
launch of the Bible is through these posters:













S
cripture posters are not new

in the USA, but as far as I know, nothing like this has been done before in the Solomons.
Currently we are trying to get them sold around the country. I’m thankful for my digital SLR camera which allows me to take high quality photos that can be used for projects like these!

Off to the hospital

by Martha


Timmy is off to the hospital this morning to be admitted for surgery on Friday. Just before he left for the hospital, I gave him this Beany Kid I brought back from the USA. As you can see, he has a ‘broken arm’ as well! Timmy’s parents, Patson and Judy would appreciate your prayers. I think they are pretty nervous about this upcoming surgery. The hospital staff here were trained by a highly skilled Swiss surgeon so Timmy is in good hands.

International Literacy Day

by Martha


International Literacy Day is held each year on the 8th of September. Here in the Solomon Islands it is being celebrated this week. This morning a large group of literacy students marched to the central market behind the police band.

This woman was carrying this card which says in Pijin: “Literacy helps me to read my Bible, cooking recipes, notices and to understand prayer books.” Women like this are what makes our ministry here sweet!
