While we're in
Vanuatu, airstrip,
00:00:38.35\00:00:39.67
we want to show you
our Medical Missionary
00:00:39.70\00:00:41.23
Aviation work,
00:00:41.26\00:00:42.29
as well as our work
on the island of Gaua
00:00:42.32\00:00:44.39
with the church
and church school.
00:00:44.42\00:00:45.96
Then we're going
to take to you up
00:00:45.99\00:00:47.02
to the far
remote part of Vanuatu
00:00:47.05\00:00:49.32
and what is referred to as
the Vanuatu's Last Frontier.
00:00:49.35\00:00:51.99
Welcome to the
Vanuatu's Last Frontier.
00:01:47.91\00:01:53.53
The Republic of the
Vanuatu is an island nation
00:01:53.56\00:01:56.09
located in South Pacific Ocean
along the volcanic ring of fire
00:01:56.12\00:01:59.76
about 1000 miles east
of Northern Australia.
00:01:59.79\00:02:03.38
Vanuatu
consists of 82 relatively
00:02:03.41\00:02:05.90
small island
formed by volcanoes.
00:02:05.93\00:02:08.25
It's also very wet
00:02:08.28\00:02:09.63
and in one year it
will rain about 93 inches
00:02:09.66\00:02:11.83
or as much as 160
inches in the Northern Islands.
00:02:11.86\00:02:17.00
There are about 221,000
people living in Vanuatu
00:02:17.03\00:02:20.40
but most of the area is rural
00:02:20.43\00:02:22.42
with the exception
of several small towns
00:02:22.45\00:02:24.42
and of course the
capital city of Port Villa.
00:02:24.45\00:02:27.71
In the 19th century Catholic
and Protestant missionaries
00:02:27.74\00:02:30.82
arrived on these islands.
00:02:30.85\00:02:32.61
With Gods help
we're working to bring
00:02:32.64\00:02:34.41
the Three Angels'
Messages in the best interest
00:02:34.44\00:02:36.67
for this time to these islands
00:02:36.70\00:02:38.40
and we're happy to report
many people are coming to Christ
00:02:38.43\00:02:41.78
and to a better understanding
of God's character.
00:02:41.81\00:02:47.19
This is how most
people get around
00:02:47.22\00:02:49.37
the capital of Port Villa
00:02:49.40\00:02:50.56
they use this
little mini vans travel,
00:02:50.59\00:02:54.07
they're like taxis.
00:02:54.10\00:02:55.74
You went into the
town you will notice
00:02:55.77\00:02:57.12
that there is a lot of tourists
all over from Australia,
00:02:57.15\00:03:00.14
New Zealand and Asia.
00:03:00.17\00:03:02.11
They call it Port Villa
00:03:02.14\00:03:03.17
because it is the
main port for the country
00:03:03.20\00:03:04.81
and lot of big ships including
crew ships come in here
00:03:04.84\00:03:07.58
and they bring
all the major commerce
00:03:07.61\00:03:09.49
for the city as
far as like electronics
00:03:09.52\00:03:11.23
and hard goods into this port,
00:03:11.26\00:03:12.96
redistributed
throughout the country.
00:03:12.99\00:03:14.65
Port Vila, the capital is
the largest city in Vanuatu
00:03:18.04\00:03:21.75
and home to
approximately 40,000 people.
00:03:21.78\00:03:26.13
Well, in Port Villa there
was a cultural art festival
00:03:26.16\00:03:29.11
which included a
parade of various natives
00:03:29.14\00:03:31.26
from different island provinces
as they march down Main Street.
00:03:31.29\00:03:34.71
They dressed in their
native and ceremonial garments
00:03:39.62\00:03:41.86
as they made their
way out to the park
00:03:41.89\00:03:43.30
where the art
festival is being held.
00:03:43.33\00:03:45.50
This was a very unique
opportunity for us to see
00:03:45.53\00:03:47.79
the different tribes
from the various islands
00:03:47.82\00:03:49.88
in one place at one time
sporting their native dress
00:03:49.91\00:03:52.94
and practicing
their cultural dances.
00:03:52.97\00:03:55.23
We're getting out to
the airport right now
00:03:59.80\00:04:01.15
to finish up the 100
hourly on Mark's plane
00:04:01.18\00:04:04.09
and then we're gonna
be flying out to Gaua
00:04:04.12\00:04:08.28
probably in the morning.
00:04:08.31\00:04:09.36
We've just
finished up the 100 hourly
00:04:16.78\00:04:19.20
inspection on this plane
00:04:19.23\00:04:21.41
and it's always a good feeling
00:04:21.44\00:04:22.92
to get to the end of
the 100 hours because--
00:04:22.95\00:04:25.74
Engine oil really clean.
00:04:25.77\00:04:26.98
Yeah, it's clean,
we've just changed the oil.
00:04:27.01\00:04:29.35
So, yeah, we--
00:04:29.38\00:04:31.38
because we're working
in such a remote place,
00:04:31.41\00:04:33.68
we're flying over
water all the time,
00:04:33.71\00:04:35.18
we got to just
keep this aircraft
00:04:35.21\00:04:37.68
in very good conditions,
00:04:37.71\00:04:38.74
so it's always a good feeling
00:04:38.77\00:04:40.46
to just have
finished the maintenance.
00:04:40.49\00:04:42.52
Vanuatu have been
very good to our stay.
00:04:42.55\00:04:44.81
They recognize that we're doing
00:04:44.84\00:04:45.98
charitable work
in Northern Vanuatu
00:04:46.01\00:04:49.81
and so they allowing us to have
00:04:49.84\00:04:52.19
very good
facilities here for maintenance
00:04:52.22\00:04:55.90
and the engineers are
helping us with inspections,
00:04:55.93\00:05:01.01
so it's very, very helpful.
00:05:01.04\00:05:02.80
We feel so thankful that
God has opened this opportunity.
00:05:02.83\00:05:07.41
So where we're
going to go tomorrow?
00:05:07.44\00:05:09.19
Tomorrow we're heading
up to Gaua to the banks,
00:05:09.22\00:05:12.95
which is remote Northern Vanuatu
00:05:12.98\00:05:16.27
where you get to see better
what's happening out there.
00:05:16.30\00:05:19.30
The flight from
Port Villa up to Gaua
00:05:42.11\00:05:44.22
in Northern Vanuatu
takes about two-and-half hours
00:05:44.25\00:05:47.24
along the way we flew over
00:05:47.27\00:05:48.52
some of
Vanuatu's smaller islands
00:05:48.55\00:05:50.80
having just
left the civilization
00:05:50.83\00:05:52.59
of the city of Port Villa,
00:05:52.62\00:05:54.12
it's almost easy to forget
00:05:54.15\00:05:55.72
that we're
flying into the jungles
00:05:55.75\00:05:57.36
of one of the most
remote places in the world.
00:05:57.39\00:06:00.34
We're in Gaua.
00:06:24.28\00:06:25.64
After the flight
Dr. Trimble's wife Naomi
00:06:25.67\00:06:28.14
and their daughter Kay
greeted us at the airstrip.
00:06:28.17\00:06:31.17
After dropping of our bags
00:06:31.20\00:06:32.43
I headed out to
the constructions site
00:06:32.46\00:06:33.89
to meet Scotty an
Australian volunteer
00:06:33.92\00:06:35.83
who came out to help lay
the foundation for the hangar.
00:06:35.86\00:06:39.30
As far as building
this hangar is concerned
00:06:39.33\00:06:41.69
it's a, it's
something that I don't have
00:06:41.72\00:06:45.38
much expertise in
concreting that is,
00:06:45.41\00:06:48.81
but myself and couple of
other guys Brett and Payda
00:06:48.84\00:06:54.40
we managed to
sort out the firm work
00:06:54.43\00:06:56.68
and the sitting things at
level and this place is land
00:06:56.71\00:07:00.28
when Dr. Mark brought
it was quite up and down
00:07:00.31\00:07:03.68
and the guys got
stuck in doing with shovels
00:07:03.71\00:07:08.26
and picks by hand
00:07:08.29\00:07:10.10
and they dug a great holes
00:07:10.13\00:07:12.51
in the hillside
and spread it out
00:07:12.54\00:07:14.06
and they've actually
managed to level the site
00:07:14.09\00:07:16.75
within four inches
across by their own eye.
00:07:16.78\00:07:20.46
When we put the
lights were on it,
00:07:20.49\00:07:22.06
the lights are level on it,
it was only four inches out,
00:07:22.09\00:07:24.66
so it's quite awesome.
00:07:24.69\00:07:27.29
What really helped us
was the guys would show up
00:07:27.32\00:07:30.39
and mixed the concrete
and not like we do it at home,
00:07:30.42\00:07:33.91
but it's really
back breaking work.
00:07:33.94\00:07:35.92
The water that they
had to get for the cement
00:07:35.95\00:07:39.55
was brought in
from about 20 minutes
00:07:39.58\00:07:42.12
boat ride down the island
00:07:42.15\00:07:43.64
because they just
had a drought period
00:07:43.67\00:07:45.67
and there was not water nearby,
00:07:45.70\00:07:47.22
so they actually
carried the water
00:07:47.25\00:07:49.25
by boat to a point nearby here
00:07:49.28\00:07:52.21
and then carried it by 20 laded
containers up to the soil here
00:07:52.24\00:07:57.89
and I think the gravel
some of the coral gravel too
00:07:57.92\00:08:01.69
and by boat and island truck
which on the local shoulders.
00:08:01.72\00:08:08.26
I would wear out quite quickly,
00:08:08.29\00:08:10.85
but those guys
just keep going all day,
00:08:10.88\00:08:13.56
and they just do it so well
without a murmur or complaint
00:08:13.59\00:08:16.74
and they are
such strong guys too.
00:08:16.77\00:08:19.97
We go to have it enclosed--
00:08:20.00\00:08:21.89
But the hangar design is
like semi-circle type of shape
00:08:21.92\00:08:27.07
where it's got curve roof
00:08:27.10\00:08:29.25
and the plan is to
have the plane underneath
00:08:29.28\00:08:31.68
and our living
quarters on the top.
00:08:31.71\00:08:33.88
One of the things
I'm looking forward
00:08:33.91\00:08:35.43
to most of that
moving into the hangar
00:08:35.46\00:08:38.68
we'll have a lot more space
00:08:38.71\00:08:40.74
and that will be really helpful
especially in the kitchen
00:08:40.77\00:08:43.93
because at the moment
our house is really tiny
00:08:43.96\00:08:46.67
and not a lot of
space for anything,
00:08:46.70\00:08:48.97
so I think having more space
00:08:49.00\00:08:51.88
and just being able to
have things more organized
00:08:51.91\00:08:54.45
will be really helpful.
00:08:54.48\00:08:56.73
Naomi has a focus
passion for the children on Gaua
00:08:56.76\00:08:59.76
and is overseeing the school
project since its inception.
00:08:59.79\00:09:02.76
The need for a
school and a school building
00:09:02.79\00:09:04.76
was born out in the
Sabbath school studies.
00:09:04.79\00:09:07.38
If a school program,
00:09:07.41\00:09:08.57
the children would
benefit tremendously
00:09:08.60\00:09:10.47
from learning how
to read and write,
00:09:10.50\00:09:12.38
study the Bible, learn English,
00:09:12.41\00:09:14.65
Math and basic
problem solving skills
00:09:14.68\00:09:16.96
that will help
them through their life.
00:09:16.99\00:09:18.99
In addition to basic
school studies Naomi, Mark
00:09:19.02\00:09:21.93
and their
daughter Kay have helped
00:09:21.96\00:09:23.17
to educate the people
with the health message.
00:09:23.20\00:09:25.71
With the better understanding
of how the body works,
00:09:25.74\00:09:28.53
the people are empowered
with the ability to make
00:09:28.56\00:09:30.46
better decisions for
themselves and their families.
00:09:30.49\00:09:34.22
Naomi spends long
days at the school
00:09:34.25\00:09:36.14
working with the
students and the teachers
00:09:36.17\00:09:37.97
and along with the hard work
comes many rewarding moments.
00:09:38.00\00:09:41.66
I have a lot of
rewarding moments
00:09:41.69\00:09:43.43
with the children in the school,
00:09:43.46\00:09:45.60
almost daily actually
just seeing them learning
00:09:45.63\00:09:50.04
and appreciating and
seeing lots turning on,
00:09:50.07\00:09:53.84
you know, in their minds
since they learn new things,
00:09:53.87\00:09:56.02
that's really rewarding.
00:09:56.05\00:09:58.83
Another experience I had
is working with the teachers
00:09:58.86\00:10:02.09
and doing some teacher training
00:10:02.12\00:10:03.84
and encouraging the teachers
and seeing them grow in their,
00:10:03.87\00:10:08.74
not just in their
methods of teaching,
00:10:08.77\00:10:11.16
but in their
spiritual experience too,
00:10:11.19\00:10:12.97
that's been really rewarding.
00:10:13.00\00:10:14.29
Mark, Naomi and Kay,
00:10:14.32\00:10:16.63
their ministry is
making quite an impact,
00:10:16.66\00:10:19.32
the difference
that they are making
00:10:19.35\00:10:21.34
on this island are
incredible, saving lives
00:10:21.37\00:10:24.39
and even the basic medical needs
00:10:24.42\00:10:27.16
are being met
excellently by their ministry.
00:10:27.19\00:10:31.64
One thing we found
with medical ministry
00:10:31.67\00:10:33.98
it really is
what the Lord made it
00:10:34.01\00:10:38.03
and that is-- it's Christ method
00:10:38.06\00:10:40.60
and Jesus mingle with
people as one desire to be good.
00:10:40.63\00:10:44.10
He sympathized with them,
he ministered to their needs,
00:10:44.13\00:10:46.42
he won their confidence
and then he said follow me
00:10:46.45\00:10:49.71
and waving medical
ministry into this project
00:10:49.74\00:10:53.82
is helping us to reach people
00:10:53.85\00:10:57.64
and helping us to make friends
and bond with people in the way
00:10:57.67\00:11:02.66
that would not be
possible in any other way.
00:11:02.69\00:11:04.54
So Hemia, he come also
in when meditating. Yes.
00:11:07.58\00:11:14.20
Had a very deep
cut into his hand here.
00:11:14.23\00:11:17.89
And so today is the day
00:11:17.92\00:11:19.89
we're going to
pull those stitches out.
00:11:19.92\00:11:22.14
Detect the cyst in this area so.
00:11:22.17\00:11:25.09
In this case we gonna do
the wait and see thing again.
00:11:25.12\00:11:29.05
We don't have a lot
of test available to us
00:11:29.08\00:11:32.31
and so sometimes when
something is just developing
00:11:32.34\00:11:34.82
its not clear exactly what it is
00:11:34.85\00:11:36.31
so, I think we'll observe him
00:11:36.34\00:11:38.38
and in a weeks
time we'll review him.
00:11:38.41\00:11:42.02
We had an ectopic
pregnancy case recently.
00:11:42.05\00:11:44.35
A lady presented with
very severe abdominal pain.
00:11:44.38\00:11:48.15
As soon as I saw
her I could see that
00:11:48.18\00:11:49.84
she was going into
shock, internal bleeding
00:11:49.87\00:11:53.22
and so we took her to our clinic
00:11:53.25\00:11:55.10
which was next door
00:11:55.13\00:11:56.82
and so we were planning to
leave it for the following day
00:11:56.85\00:12:00.30
and back here I
had taken her to center
00:12:00.33\00:12:02.15
I was going to
fly her to center,
00:12:02.18\00:12:03.93
but the following
day the rain was very bad
00:12:03.96\00:12:06.68
and so we had to just go ahead
00:12:06.71\00:12:08.54
with the operation with
the concern of the family.
00:12:08.57\00:12:12.33
It was kind of scary moment
00:12:12.36\00:12:13.99
because we didn't have
the ultrasound diagnosis,
00:12:14.02\00:12:17.39
we didn't have the
ultrasound with us at the time
00:12:17.42\00:12:19.97
beginning the operation,
00:12:20.00\00:12:21.07
her blood pressure
was unrecognizably low,
00:12:21.10\00:12:23.95
her pulse rate was 168 plus,
00:12:23.98\00:12:26.70
her saturation was down below 70
00:12:26.73\00:12:30.09
and so she was in severe shock,
00:12:30.12\00:12:33.09
but her life was in danger
and so we have to operate.
00:12:33.12\00:12:37.48
Since we opened up,
lots of blood came out
00:12:37.51\00:12:39.79
and we were able to
locate the small embryo
00:12:39.82\00:12:44.24
and close off the
tube that was ruptured.
00:12:44.27\00:12:49.90
As soon as we did that
her blood pressure stabilized
00:12:49.93\00:12:52.61
and praised the
Lord she recovered
00:12:52.64\00:12:54.55
without any complications.
00:12:54.58\00:12:56.03
We just believe
that God especially
00:12:56.06\00:12:58.16
intervened in this case
00:12:58.19\00:12:59.22
because this lady
was very, very ill
00:12:59.25\00:13:03.44
and this was the first
laparotomy case in this area
00:13:03.47\00:13:08.44
and so it was kind
of high impact procedure
00:13:08.47\00:13:12.73
which had a lot of influence
00:13:12.76\00:13:16.17
in promoting the
Lord's work in this area,
00:13:16.20\00:13:18.59
so anyway we'll
believe that God is good
00:13:18.62\00:13:21.19
and he is helping
in what we're doing.
00:13:21.22\00:13:24.04
(Foreign language)
00:13:24.07\00:13:26.91
Named him Lucifer,
00:13:26.94\00:13:28.31
I mean the light bearer
one man will be holding like,
00:13:28.34\00:13:31.00
it was no I
think he was listening.
00:13:31.03\00:13:34.48
She had a incident
in her life recently
00:13:34.51\00:13:36.74
which is making her
search in the spiritual things
00:13:36.77\00:13:40.64
her and her husband.
00:13:40.67\00:13:43.84
She gave birth
to a deformed baby
00:13:43.87\00:13:48.09
and the baby died
00:13:48.12\00:13:50.12
and so now she has
got a lot of questions
00:13:50.15\00:13:52.06
because in their
culture they believe that
00:13:52.09\00:13:54.30
the devil was
involved in making this baby
00:13:54.33\00:13:57.39
and so we're
going to talk to her
00:13:57.42\00:13:59.30
about what the Bible says
about devils and angels, etc
00:13:59.33\00:14:03.99
and see if we can help
her through this thing.
00:14:04.02\00:14:07.34
One angel we
based seen a big one,
00:14:07.37\00:14:09.98
I've seen a big one.
00:14:10.01\00:14:11.60
Patients don't pay me money
for treatments or consultations,
00:14:11.63\00:14:17.97
but they do give me food
00:14:18.00\00:14:19.52
and so we have a
lot of really tasty
00:14:19.55\00:14:24.36
tropical foods and vegetables,
00:14:24.39\00:14:26.88
regularly coming
to us for in return
00:14:26.91\00:14:30.28
for the
treatments that we provide.
00:14:30.31\00:14:34.19
Look at that.
00:14:34.22\00:14:35.45
(Foreign language)
00:14:39.48\00:14:42.00
It actually
helps the relationships
00:14:42.03\00:14:43.34
with my patients to make
sure that they understand this
00:14:43.37\00:14:46.05
some cost is being
involved in their care
00:14:46.08\00:14:49.11
and so I make sure that
they do bring me some food
00:14:49.14\00:14:52.92
and I just let them
know, I appreciate that food
00:14:52.95\00:14:56.81
and I know they appreciate
the care that I'm providing.
00:14:56.84\00:14:59.69
There we've a
load of sweet potatoes.
00:14:59.72\00:15:03.43
Okay, thank you. Thank you.
00:15:03.46\00:15:05.94
On Sabbath I talked about
00:15:05.97\00:15:07.00
our accepting
God's call in our lives
00:15:07.03\00:15:09.30
and use Dr. Marks
influence on the island and Rosy
00:15:09.33\00:15:12.30
who almost died of
cerebral malaria as an example.
00:15:12.33\00:15:15.95
It was easy to see how
important it is for all of us
00:15:15.98\00:15:18.75
to follow God's calling.
00:15:18.78\00:15:20.67
As Dr. Mark and his family did
00:15:20.70\00:15:22.24
when they decided
to become missionaries.
00:15:22.27\00:15:24.29
How many people you
received help from Dr. Mark?
00:15:24.32\00:15:28.14
Raise your hands.
00:15:28.17\00:15:31.01
If Dr. Mark would
have not accepted the call,
00:15:31.04\00:15:33.50
you would not got any help.
00:15:33.53\00:15:34.88
She would be dead.
It's same for all of you.
00:15:38.56\00:15:43.07
That we're gonna need everyone.
00:15:43.10\00:15:44.38
God is calling you.
God is up calling you.
00:15:44.41\00:15:47.14
And you came through Lord,
will you give your life to God,
00:15:47.17\00:15:50.52
He uses you in
front of other people.
00:15:50.55\00:15:54.00
They involved in
mission field has really been
00:15:54.03\00:15:56.44
an encouragement to me
especially my spiritual life,
00:15:56.47\00:15:58.81
I've gained the lot of blessing
00:15:58.84\00:16:00.44
and its being, I believe are
real blessing to made it big,
00:16:00.47\00:16:05.24
to go out in the mission field.
00:16:05.27\00:16:07.22
While I'd been here in Vanuatu
for the last more than a year
00:16:07.25\00:16:11.46
I've been helping
out teaching other teens.
00:16:11.49\00:16:14.01
There's been many
challenge teaching them,
00:16:14.04\00:16:16.82
but it's been a real
blessing as well as seeing them
00:16:16.85\00:16:20.61
changing some of their
ways, they speak Bislama.
00:16:20.64\00:16:24.97
(Foreign language)
00:16:25.00\00:16:27.59
I've tried to learn
some of the local languages,
00:16:31.44\00:16:34.71
they are little
bit more challenging
00:16:34.74\00:16:35.98
but I'm learning, so
I spend a lot of time
00:16:36.01\00:16:40.03
with lot of the
young people around here,
00:16:40.06\00:16:42.38
and trying to be
good example to them
00:16:42.41\00:16:44.06
being an example to them
00:16:44.09\00:16:45.26
what they can do when they obey.
00:16:45.29\00:16:48.02
Right now there
are many young people
00:16:48.05\00:16:49.57
being used by God
all over the world
00:16:49.60\00:16:51.33
with Laymen Ministries.
00:16:51.36\00:16:52.75
They each are
having a powerful influence
00:16:52.78\00:16:55.22
in the lives of others,
00:16:55.25\00:16:56.49
the one thing that I always
hear from the missionaries
00:16:56.52\00:16:59.14
when they return back home
00:16:59.17\00:17:00.62
is how
immeasurably the experience
00:17:00.65\00:17:02.88
strengthened their
relationship with God
00:17:02.91\00:17:05.52
and change them forever.
00:17:05.55\00:17:07.58
If I had an opportunity
to share with young people,
00:17:07.61\00:17:09.80
I just want to
encourage them to go ahead with
00:17:09.83\00:17:12.84
if any opportunity
they have to be a missionary
00:17:12.87\00:17:15.09
whether being there
in their neighborhood
00:17:15.12\00:17:17.10
or whether it be going overseas
or whatever they may have
00:17:17.13\00:17:20.79
whatever
opportunities they have,
00:17:20.82\00:17:22.18
they still use
their opportunities
00:17:22.21\00:17:23.89
to be a missionary.
00:17:23.92\00:17:27.60
I feel being
involved in mission field
00:17:27.63\00:17:31.54
for any period of
time whether it be shorter
00:17:31.57\00:17:33.80
or particularly a
longer period of time
00:17:33.83\00:17:35.46
it would be the good
blessings to any young person
00:17:35.49\00:17:37.98
because they could gain so much,
00:17:38.01\00:17:40.33
some many blessings
in the spiritual act.
00:17:40.36\00:17:42.48
Of course young
people face many challenges
00:17:42.51\00:17:45.05
but it's also as you learn
so much working for other people
00:17:45.08\00:17:49.65
and helping other
people that are in need.
00:17:49.68\00:17:51.41
When I first arrived in Vanuatu,
00:18:21.27\00:18:23.45
Mark took me to see
the trusses in Port Villa
00:18:23.48\00:18:25.76
as they were
finishing up the construction.
00:18:25.79\00:18:27.73
Having seen for myself
how big and heavy they are,
00:18:27.76\00:18:30.46
it was easy to see
why shipping them up
00:18:30.49\00:18:32.27
to Gaua was
really a big challenge.
00:18:32.30\00:18:34.90
So these are the trusses.
00:18:34.93\00:18:36.16
Yeah, these are the
trusses that have taken
00:18:36.19\00:18:37.73
a bit too long to get together.
00:18:37.76\00:18:39.77
When were they
supposed to actually get there?
00:18:39.80\00:18:41.41
Supposed to be about
three or four weeks ago.
00:18:41.44\00:18:43.45
Oh, man.
00:18:43.48\00:18:44.53
So this is like
one half of truss,
00:18:44.56\00:18:46.09
to clear this make
my one part of the roof,
00:18:46.12\00:18:48.50
this is half a truss,
we'll be putting them together
00:18:48.53\00:18:53.27
two of these part circles here
00:18:53.30\00:18:56.89
to make a semi
spherical building.
00:18:56.92\00:19:00.55
It's going to be
six trusses all together
00:19:00.58\00:19:03.16
and as you see they
are pretty well built.
00:19:03.19\00:19:07.05
How you are going to get
these up to Gaua, I mean.
00:19:07.08\00:19:09.77
We're going to--
that's our big headache,
00:19:09.80\00:19:12.83
we got ships
that go up their way
00:19:12.86\00:19:14.69
but it's not very regular
00:19:14.72\00:19:16.42
so we just have to
get the right timing.
00:19:16.45\00:19:18.69
In the meantime
after flying back to Gaua,
00:19:18.72\00:19:21.06
we were planning a two day trip
00:19:21.09\00:19:22.40
after the last
Frontier of Vanuatu.
00:19:22.43\00:19:25.24
In this case Dr. Mark had been
00:19:25.27\00:19:26.89
in the beginning
stages of befriending
00:19:26.92\00:19:28.71
a group of Niuean
people on the Island
00:19:28.74\00:19:30.49
of Toga into a province.
00:19:30.52\00:19:32.61
So will they tight fit?
00:19:32.64\00:19:34.06
I don't know if
I'll be able to do this,
00:19:34.09\00:19:36.78
we were getting ready to
fly up to the Torres province,
00:19:36.81\00:19:39.57
the upper Torres
province islands.
00:19:39.60\00:19:41.40
The reason that
Mark he only chose Gaua
00:19:41.43\00:19:43.38
is because this is
kind of like the gateway
00:19:43.41\00:19:45.07
to the last frontier of Vanuatu
00:19:45.10\00:19:47.14
and then from here we can
go up to these unreached area
00:19:47.17\00:19:49.94
up in the northern
banks chorus us group
00:19:49.97\00:19:52.66
that's we're going
to fly to right now
00:19:52.69\00:19:54.02
with all of this stuff.
00:19:54.05\00:19:56.36
Dr. Mark speaks very
highly of these people,
00:19:56.39\00:19:58.66
their friendliness and
remarkable hospitality.
00:19:58.69\00:20:01.67
Almost five gallons of
gasoline set next to me there..
00:20:01.70\00:20:04.22
Thankfully, we were able
to pack a lot of supplies
00:20:08.41\00:20:10.71
in the plane such as chainsaw,
00:20:10.74\00:20:13.06
extra gasoline,
medical equipment,
00:20:13.09\00:20:15.57
video gear bags and
well I have to do it
00:20:15.60\00:20:18.57
whatever room was left over
00:20:18.60\00:20:19.73
for the two-
and-half hour flight..
00:20:19.76\00:20:21.55
For the last year the
people on Toga have been
00:20:54.22\00:20:56.59
carving out a grass airstrip
00:20:56.62\00:20:58.50
right in the
middle of this jungle.
00:20:58.53\00:21:00.75
They're not finished yet
00:21:00.78\00:21:01.81
so we'll have to land
on a nearby island of Lo
00:21:01.84\00:21:05.07
and take a dangerous two hour
00:21:05.10\00:21:06.99
boat ride to
Toga in the morning.
00:21:07.02\00:21:10.05
In Vanuatu you'll see huge
bats flying around the dusk,
00:21:10.08\00:21:13.41
the local people call them
flying foxes or flying devils
00:21:13.44\00:21:17.09
because they make
a high pitch shrill
00:21:17.12\00:21:19.15
when they get aggressive
though most of the times
00:21:19.18\00:21:21.57
they just love to eat mangoes.
00:21:21.60\00:21:23.42
Just landed here in the Island
of Lo on the Torres province.
00:21:27.73\00:21:31.83
We are going to staying
here tonight an then tomorrow
00:21:31.86\00:21:34.56
we are going to
load up all this stuff,
00:21:34.59\00:21:36.26
we are going to go
over to the Island of Toga
00:21:36.29\00:21:38.30
on a small boat,
00:21:38.33\00:21:39.67
so we got to pack all
our gear into these barrels
00:21:39.70\00:21:42.20
and we are hoping
for good weather tomorrow
00:21:42.23\00:21:43.79
and they said that
there is the chance
00:21:43.82\00:21:45.66
the water is
gonna be pretty rough.
00:21:45.69\00:21:47.11
All coconut, fantastic.
00:22:20.72\00:22:23.16
Upon arriving in Toga the
locals were incredibly generous,
00:22:23.19\00:22:26.79
they had prepared an
assortment of food for us
00:22:26.82\00:22:29.28
including papaya,
pineapple, bananas and coconuts.
00:22:29.31\00:22:33.96
We also attracted quite a crowd.
00:22:33.99\00:22:37.48
We've got here in the
boat just a little while ago
00:22:37.51\00:22:39.27
and we just
finished having a quick snack
00:22:39.30\00:22:41.07
that they provided for us,
greeted us very graciously.
00:22:41.10\00:22:43.69
We're going to walk
up really quick here,
00:22:43.72\00:22:44.99
it's about half
hour to 45 minutes up to
00:22:45.02\00:22:47.30
where they are
carving an airstrip.
00:22:47.33\00:22:48.62
This island is
extremely isolated
00:22:48.65\00:22:50.31
because it's so
hard to get to it,
00:22:50.34\00:22:51.70
it's surrounded by a lot
of big cliffs and huge waves
00:22:51.73\00:22:54.43
and if they quickly
finish this airstrip
00:22:54.46\00:22:56.29
this will be really
great way for Dr. Mark
00:22:56.32\00:22:58.68
and other people to be
able to come here and visit.
00:22:58.71\00:23:01.16
This is one of
the last frontiers
00:23:01.19\00:23:02.58
here in Northern
Torres Banks Island group.
00:23:02.61\00:23:07.71
One of the main purposes
for this visit to Toga Island
00:23:07.74\00:23:10.56
was to encourage the people
on the work on this airstrip
00:23:10.59\00:23:13.41
as well as getting Dr.
Mark an opportunity to survey
00:23:13.44\00:23:16.14
the progress made
since his last visit.
00:23:16.17\00:23:18.62
We also brought a
chainsaw to help cut up
00:23:18.65\00:23:20.75
and remove some
of the larger trees
00:23:20.78\00:23:22.86
otherwise this huge
clearing you see here
00:23:22.89\00:23:25.40
has been done by hand with axes
00:23:25.43\00:23:27.62
and simple bush knifes.
00:23:27.65\00:23:29.82
We've only got to 300
meters over the next few months,
00:23:29.85\00:23:33.42
we're hoping that will
be extended to 450 meters
00:23:33.45\00:23:36.82
and we're hoping in April
00:23:36.85\00:23:37.96
we are going to
have an opening ceremony
00:23:37.99\00:23:39.89
and land more
aircraft on Toga Island,
00:23:39.92\00:23:44.61
that will be history.
00:23:44.64\00:23:49.01
Right here and
like in this situation
00:23:49.04\00:23:50.84
we've people that are nationals
00:23:50.87\00:23:52.92
that are living
here that are donating
00:23:52.95\00:23:54.26
like land for this airstrip
00:23:54.29\00:23:55.67
and they have
also given their time,
00:23:55.70\00:23:58.23
tremendous amount
of cumulative work
00:23:58.26\00:23:59.86
has been involved in
working on this airstrip.
00:23:59.89\00:24:02.97
I just want to
thank all the viewers
00:24:03.00\00:24:04.24
that have donated
to various projects
00:24:04.27\00:24:05.95
and just remember
there's people right here
00:24:05.98\00:24:07.61
that are also sacrificing
to help these things happen.
00:24:07.64\00:24:12.36
We had a really enjoyable
time that night talking
00:24:12.39\00:24:14.99
and laughing with
the people on Toga,
00:24:15.02\00:24:17.12
bonding with these dear
people helps them to trust us
00:24:17.15\00:24:20.24
and to be open to the
precious truths we bear.
00:24:20.27\00:24:23.85
The next morning Dr.
Mark held the medical clinic
00:24:23.88\00:24:26.35
for the people on Toga.
00:24:26.38\00:24:27.92
Many of the people have
problems with their teeth
00:24:27.95\00:24:30.18
which is the real common
problem throughout the islands.
00:24:30.21\00:24:33.17
Dr. Mark is sometimes left with
00:24:33.20\00:24:35.17
no other option
than pulling them.
00:24:35.20\00:24:37.43
We've very basic sterilization
systems here in Vanuatu,
00:24:37.46\00:24:41.71
but we are going to make
the best with what we have got.
00:24:41.74\00:24:44.13
He tries to be cautious
00:24:44.16\00:24:45.38
and will only pull a
tooth as a last resort.
00:24:45.41\00:24:48.12
Some of the people think that
00:24:48.15\00:24:49.35
the only way to remove the pain
00:24:49.38\00:24:51.21
is to pull the tooth
00:24:51.24\00:24:52.27
when the two may
not even be related.
00:24:52.30\00:24:54.30
So there's the wisdom tooth
00:24:54.33\00:24:55.36
with all three
roots have come out,
00:24:55.39\00:24:59.05
so mission accomplished.
00:24:59.08\00:25:02.53
We flew over this island
00:25:02.56\00:25:03.88
and drop the box
with some gloves,
00:25:03.91\00:25:05.69
medicines and other materials
00:25:05.72\00:25:07.39
to assist and
encourage these people
00:25:07.42\00:25:09.45
to continue clearing
the land for their airstrip.
00:25:09.48\00:25:14.92
In just a couple of years
God has miraculously provided
00:25:14.95\00:25:18.11
an incredible Maule bush plane
00:25:18.14\00:25:20.12
and now even
runways on multiple islands.
00:25:20.15\00:25:23.29
When laboring
for the cause of God,
00:25:23.32\00:25:25.38
there are always
difficulties and challenges
00:25:25.41\00:25:27.97
but faith and
persistence goes a long way
00:25:28.00\00:25:30.99
and such is the case with
the trusses for the hangar
00:25:31.02\00:25:33.42
when after many
delays and challenges
00:25:33.45\00:25:35.67
they finally arrived on Gaua.
00:25:35.70\00:25:37.83
I would highly recommend it
00:26:03.39\00:26:05.10
that the people
give mission work
00:26:05.13\00:26:08.73
like this an opportunity,
00:26:08.76\00:26:10.35
make some time in their lives
because it's a great experience,
00:26:10.38\00:26:13.62
it's something
that you will remember
00:26:13.65\00:26:15.52
for the rest of your life.
00:26:15.55\00:26:16.83
When speaking
about his second coming
00:26:36.47\00:26:38.51
Jesus said this
gospel of the kingdom
00:26:38.54\00:26:41.10
shall be
preached in all the world
00:26:41.13\00:26:42.72
for a witness unto all nations,
and then shall the end come.
00:26:42.75\00:26:46.66
Having just left the
last frontier of Vanuatu
00:26:46.69\00:26:49.70
and one of the most
remote areas in the world
00:26:49.73\00:26:52.20
and one of the last places
00:26:52.23\00:26:53.72
to hear the
Three Angels' Messages.
00:26:53.75\00:26:55.34
It is the sobering proof
00:26:55.37\00:26:57.60
that we are living
in the last stages.
00:26:57.63\00:26:59.64
Now it's the time to cry
out this soul saving truths
00:26:59.67\00:27:02.86
and prepare the
world to meet its creator.
