From The Radio Base

SV Liberty to Fiji

Dave and Tana are our only vessel currently on ocean passage on the last 18 day leg of their trip westward to Fiji where they will be involved with a number of projects as well as going to Uganda to install an FM radio station in September. 

SV Special Effects

Ernie and Marilyn have arrived safely at Thursday Island where they will be effecting repairs to their depth sounder and spending time with Howard and Glynnis of the missionary vessel MV Christian, before leaving for Daru PNG. Don White, their crew for the last leg from Bowen, is flying home tomorrow.

SV Grace II in Vanuatu

Des and Merleen have had their bikes, their main transport, stolen in from the home base island of Santo. The appreciation of their ministry by the nationals is evident in the response of the local church community and police, who are searching for them.
Pastor Dick has organised a crusade into the remote highlands of Santo for when the weather abates and the roads become passable.
 

Technical Support for MV Mercy Links

Our radio technician Grant Smith and engineer John Luscombe returned home from New Zealand on Friday after installing the communications aboard the YWAM ship, Pacific Link. Pacific Link will be in communication through Coastlands during her commission as a hospital and discipleship training vessel in the South Pacific.
