FBC Missions

written  7/21/07

We are coming to a close here in the Solomons. As projects wind down we experience a mixture of feelings; joy for what has been accomplished and service rendered to missionaries and God, and a desire to see more accomplished so that the work of the kingdom may be furthered.We have found people to be warm and polite. and at the same time we see a people who have great needs (spiritual, and physical) with little in the way of resources to meet them. For example, in many third world countries, people have a wrong belief about hospitals; they believe you go there to die. Here in Honoria that belief is not far form the truth. We have been cautioned by every missionary here to avoid the hospital if at all possible. They go to Australia for medical attention. We are glad that we brought our own medical care (Lisa and her medical bag) with us. We are even more thankful that we have not had medical needs. please pray that it continues to be that way!With little in the way of natural resources and no protected harbor, this country had few prospects for improvement. We are encouraged however, because of the missions taking place here. Perhaps through literacy and the spreading of God’s word these people can find peace and contentment through the power of God.

Blessings,

Eric, for The SI Team
