The Word for Today 2021 - pacific covers

82 Islands , including several volcanoes, spread over 12,300 square km make up The Great South Land of the Holy Spirit, the New Hebrides or, as we call it today, Vanuatu.

Bilslama is the national language (similar to pidgin) however French and English are also commonly spoken – which one is spoken depends on where you are in Vanuatu.

Laef FM

Our radio ministry here is well underway. But there is a long way to go if we are fulfil our vision to see the whole nation reached.

The good news is we have Laef FM 102.7FM on air in Port Vila, Luganville, Ambrym, Hog Harbour, Lenekal, and Samaria.

Grid electricity is still unavailable in many places, however solar technology has enabled us to install two of these stations using solar power alone. This is an exciting development and their success opens many new and exciting opportunities.

We are looking forward to re-establishing studio facilities and high powered FM services to better serve the 280,000 wonderful people who call these beautiful tropical Islands ‘home’.

The Word for Today

We are delighted to include Vanuatu in our special 12 month edition of The Word for Today. 7,000 copies of the Vanuatu edition are available each year and donations received go straight back into our growing radio and print minitry. With your support we will be able to continue to grow this number in future years. Email us if you’d like to know more.

Don’t miss out on your copy – and tell your friends!
