January 14 2008




Steve heading home after a funeral. Pastor Pramod gave him a basket of food to take home. We like to call this, "Fiji foil".









Savannah and Seth are doing a skit at Savusavu Assembly of God church. Savannah is wearing a salwaar-kameez. Traditional Indian attire, actually made popular by the Muslims.





One afternoon we were out driving and saw these kids playing. They have wonderful smiles. Often you will see them carrying sugar cane or firewood on thier shoulders.




When driving in Fiji you will see people selling fruit on the side of the road. We stopped to get some bananas. When the kids saw Nola's hair they came running. Not very many Blondes here in Fiji.





Before moving to South Pacific Bible College we had an all-nighter with the Sunday school classes at Evangel Temple in Labasa. The kids sure enjoy puppets. We are going to have fun with the puppets on the main island. This team is practicing at our house.




Our friend Joseph with two of his goats. He is a good friend of Sam's.









Here is Seth, Sanjay, Susie and Steve going through boxes. We were able to take six boxes of neddles to the Labasa hospital. The comic books are for our "Kids Quest" outreaches.






The graduation class of 2006 had this sign built. From the sign to the Suva (our main town) is a 30 minute drive.

From the main road to the campus is a ten minute drive.

A bus comes every Friday afternon to pick up students from the campus then returns them on Monday afternoon. From the sign to the Suva (our main town) is a 30 minute drive.


We are now living on the “main island” (Viti Levu) on the campus of SPBC. What a huge change for us. Most of you are aware of how we moved when you received our Christmas letter!
For the New Year we went to Nadi and had a great time!



Savannah and Susie are doing great! They have their own house next to ours-- it is about five yards away. Their house is also the school room. Savannah is really picking up on the guitar and her painting. Susie is still playing her violin.






Seth has been getting ready for the track season. School starts in a couple of weeks for Fiji, which is when their track season is. Hopefully there will be a school that will let him run.



Nola has been pretty busy getting our house unpacked and with home schooling. Last night she was asked to teach a worship seminar later in the year. She will do a great job with that. Steve's office is set up. He is looking forward to teaching, "Methods of Bible Study".









As you step out of our front door and look towards Suva this is our view. We serve a mighty God!





Well that is enough for now. Love to hear from you when you have a minute

South Pacific Bible College information

The school is over 40 years old (approximately 45)We have 12 nations representedEnrollment is 148 (Record enrollment)

It is a regional Training School. There were no other BA schools in the area until Samoa started one this year.

The need for building continues. There have been over 20 building projects on campus in the past 10 years and with the enrollment size, there are more needs.

Scholarships are a high priority as the economy in Fiji continues to decline, churches and individuals cannot make the fees.

Many of the students just can't continue without some help. Any amount helps. It does not have to be a full scholarship.
