We had the privilege of visiting and serving the High Chief of Mali Island in Fiji. He lives on an island called Vorovoro and he was gracious enough to answer a few of our simple and elementary questions. We were curious about the Bridge The Gap program that he’s so passionate about and what his role is in the cultural landscape in our province of Macuata in Vanua Levu, Fiji.
One of our church members, Chuck, asked if some of us would be willing to go and clean up the area on the island that Bridge The Gap operates out of as it was a bit run down because it had been shut down due to the pandemic.
To us, this is what the church is supposed to be: People who love Jesus loving other people. Not just to raise money for soli’s (offerings) but just because someone needs help.
Thanks for joining us on this one. It’s a special one for us because we learned a lot this day about our own culture too.
Thanks and a big Vinaka Vakalevu to the Tui Mali for his hospitality and wisdom he shared with us.
Also thanks to Joe Tuinaosara for your help with the massive translation job on this vlog. Your wisdom with language means everyone who watches this video has the opportunity to learn about Fiji or even for us non-Fijian speaking Fijians to understand ourselves. We’re very grateful for the time you take to help us when we need it.
ENJOY!!!
