Kuma

In Kuma village, which was the first village we were in we went to an island where there was a cave that we walked through, and there was a shipwreck, and a whole "stacka" (lots of in SI pigin) coconut trees. So they showed us around and caught some crabs, dug a hole and made them fight each other. Climbed a tree that was probably about 12 stories high to get some coconuts, then husked them with either their teeth or a machete, so fast I couldn't even catch up, so we had coconut milk and coconut meat for lunch. We also got them all together and played some form of water polo in the amazing blue water of the South Pacific ocean.
While playing soccer with some of the kids one day, a child was sitting on a branch pretty high up, Nathaniel (my co-leader) went up and jokingly scared the kid, but because we were white and had just arrived to the village, a village that had never seen white people, the kid DID get scared. To make a long story short, the kid FREAKED out, the branch broke and he fell out of the tree. Luckily he landed on sand and island kids are as tough as nails, so as quick as he fell, he took off FAST running the opposite direction of Nate, haha.
One of the students, Brodie, was speaking for his first time in Kuma village. He is a very anointed speaker, although he is just stepping into it, his potential is very evident. He spoke on the Lordship of Christ and how salvation is not Christianity, thats like saying birth is your life. So when the people heard this message the holy spirit fell, and the whole room fell on their face and wept, including the team. People were slain in the spirit, healed in every sense, recommited to Christ and motivate to surrender to the Lord fully. It was a VERY powerful night indeed. It was like one of those evangelistic moves in Africa when a million people come to the Lord at once, much smaller scale, but the spirit truly moved powerfully through Brodie.

Anyway, some more cool stories from the Solomon Islands!
