Did you know that 30% of the population of Fiji is unemployed? Isn’t that amazing? A lot of people are under the impression that Fiji is “transformed” – a nation in the throws of revival. While revival and transformation is happening in some small villages and pockets throughout the islands of Fiji; I would like say that Fiji is not totally “transformed” as of yet. There are still hundreds of thousands of Fijians who need to encounter the Lord!

Today in class we talked about what a transformed nation would look like here in Fiji. It would be a place with no abortions, bars, prisons, mosques, or Hindu temples. There would be no violence, no corruption in the government, no divorce, and no drug abuse. There would be no murders, like the murder that happened down the street from the IWT office last night. Fiji would have more interracial marriages, more entrepreneurs, roads without pot holes, and political stability. Society would have better infrastructure, there would be many Christian missionaries being sent out, and there would be a Godly government in power. That’s what Fiji would look like. That’s what we’re praying for.

This picture is of our IES class. We believe that each student will be a world changer, helping to bring transformation to Fiji.

Hi Misty,
Thanks for that info! Didn't know about the 30% unemployment! Do you mind if I use some of what you wrote in my newsletter?
Bless you,
