			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Tour was themed “Home Sweet home” simply because most of the boys who were part of the tour were members of the Revelation 7s visiting their home Island for a first time, after several years. The Meeting was co-funded by the GO Advent Ministries with Minister Titus John being the Main speaker during the 2 long weeks of the Evangelistic campaign meeting. A lot of challenges occurred along the way including the lost of the Generator power supplies and power supply lighting facilities.  The Meeting went well during the first week but then a lot of challenges came during the second week of the meeting where people were stopped by their leaders not to attend the meeting.</p>
<p>However the meeting finally ended and many who attended the meeting have made their decision to follow the Truth. The boys returned after spending over 1 month in the island due to unavailability of shipping transport back to Port Vila.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Acappella Union boys have taken yet another trip to one of the most beautiful spot of the Country, Epi Island. Earlier on during the year, the Fresh wind Church, Epi community decided to engage Mr. Howard Aru to run a Two weeks evangelistic meeting on the shores of Epi High School. This eventually materialised and the AU boys accompanied Howard to that two weeks meeting. God has shown his great power through out the meeting with proves of people coming from all over the island, most of which are not Seventh Day Adventists. The message was plainly presented with open invitations and more than 30 Souls have indicated their stand to follow God true Church and keep the Sabbath. The Team Lead by Mr. Kency and Dr Rennie successfully completed their part in the meeting and finally returned to Port Vila.</p>

<p>It was really a great challenge for us to make three international tours in one year and two national tours. However God promise that all gold and silver are His and if we make ourselves available He will mightily use us in His services. Despite very expensive airfares we manage to send 20 young people to Australia to share the love of GOD to the people of Australia especially in Brisbane. Australian tour was a very unique due to unforeseen circumstances and trials that we encounter. We have to travel in twos and threes until we all made it to Australia. Suppose it wasn’t God almighty we couldn’t have made it. He still remains the God of Acappella Union and our God until be will come to takes us home. Our God will and still will supply our needs for his services till we will meet him in Heaven.</p>
<p>The boys did visitation and sang in one of the main workshop organize by the South Pacific Division at Watson Part theme as “MOVE WITH POWER II”. Apart from that we did several concerts around SDA churches in Brisbane. The Lord blesses us and provides us with many blessing including housing and food.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 9pt;">The predominant objective is to hold a first ever open evangelism in the vicinity of the dominated Anglicans recipients. Ancillary, in conjunction with evangelism, the Acappella boys branch their intention by presenting Health messages and facilitate workshops which meant to benefit public; and execute visitations and willingly formulate Bible studies with the interested recipients.</p>
<p>During the period of public evangelism, issues and challenges mounted up to degrade or halt the progress of night and day series. Nevertheless, the mission was completed and giving a responsibility for our church to make follow ups seriously with the interested individuals.</p>
<p>At the end of the meeting, many people have come to understand GOD&#8217;S WORD.<br />

<p>The boys ended the year and celebrated the New Year eves in Tanna. The Tanna tour 2007 was a successful one as this young folks share the great gospel message mainly in the western part of Tanna, raising funds towards schools and visiting the sick, needy ones and praying with Gods children.</p>
<p>One of the major experiences was how the boys move around trusting only in God. More than 36 made it to Tanna without any financial assistance however God strengthen the faith of the Ministry. The focus was right and we made it for the first time to Tanna. Moreover the boys assist the boys in TANNA encouraging small group ministries and active involvement of young youths to come out and use their talents actively and productively in spreading the good news of the Almighty God. Apart from that the group engages in advising the communities at large concerning health problems and other legal rights inside our country today.</p>
<p>The young men are so enthusiasm and dedicated towards the high calling of our Lord.</p>

<p>“I WILL GLADLY GO” was the driving theme that reminds us how God wants us in His service, the theme was so encouraging that we despite great challenges we look to  JESUS to go across  valleys and mountain gladly. The group takes the time in visiting the old peoples homes and spreading the love of God. It was very emotional and touching to see the old people sharing tears and looking forward for our King and Saviour’s return. One of the main highlights was the three concerts night at Suva main town hall.</p>
<p>The boys made several visits to Fiji main hospital and visit the lepers. God was with us in the foreign land and provide all our needs in terms of transport, food and it was a big miracle to us.</p>
<p>God leads more than 36 boys to Fiji.</p>
