We have been in the capitol for one week now. This is the base operations for the Wycliffe local team under SITAG (Solomon Islands Translation Advisory Group). There are at least 74 distinct language groups in this country alone.
While transiting through this area we offered to assist in any specialized transportation needed. Today we are wrapping up re-provisioning after meetings this week revealed several key projects for us to accomplish in the outer islands. First there is a key meeting of elders on Malaita Island to the east. A local man (David) will deliver New Testaments to three areas with our assistance and attend the meeting. Upon completion we will return to Honiara in a few weeks and re-provision again to deliver a family to their assignment in the western province islands area.
PNG is having a management change over and asked that we arrive sometime later in July. Spending this time here with the SITAG team looks like it will be useful and rewarding.
Honiara is the site of the Guadalcanal battle in WWII. There is much pride here concerning the assistance local men gave to the Allied and US Forces. They are known as the Coast Watchers.
Join us in thankfulness for the people of the Solomon Islands and their walk in Faith.
