OACI Update, 2006
TONGA MISSION
The harvest is ready in the South Pacific Three OAC staff, Neil Shaskey, Isabelle Sutton, Susan Watson and four youth from Emmett Street Christian Centre comprised a team that had two weeks outreach in Tonga between 8th to 24th July. They conducted 30 meetings presenting the Gospel to approximately 3266 people through five church services, six high school meetings, seven youth programmes, two primary age meetings, one prison meeting, one open air meeting and a half hour programme on National Television.
The team worked with the Free Weslyan Methodist Church and Kulima Tafea who attended the NZ School of Evangelism in Christchurch in 2003. The team grew in faith and passion. The Church caught the vision of sending evangelistic teams to other Islands and several thousand heard the Gospel. Tonga appears to be open towards OAC in the establishment of a branch there.
