LAURU YOUTHS PADDLED TO KUKUDU
The three youths of Posarae left Posarae at 5:30am on Thursday, 06 February 2014 and arrived at Ray Hite on Kolombanara Island on the same day at 9:30pm. The purpose of the journey was to reflect on the experiences when the people of Lauru usually paddle great distances to attend church meetings in the early years of Adventist church.

The journey took longer than expected because the boys met strong wind and rough sea. They are planning to paddle back next week Kukudu-Gizo-vella- Posarae.
This is the same group that paddled from Posarae to Honiara for two weeks to attend the youth convention. Also the group walked across the bush to Oliveti another area of interest for the Seventh-day Adventist Church in the interior of Choiseul.
The boys and others are planning to paddle again from Posarae to Viru on June this year to attend the Jubillee at Viru.

BIBLE PROJECT - TOP END LAURU
Lauru Supporting Ministry activated the Bible Project - Top End Lauru on Monday, 21 April 2014. This request was from the Seventh-day Adventist layperson, Lindsay Galo Sisiolo of Burukuni village, Choiseul Province in Solomon Islands. The Project plans to get 1,000 new Bible for Lindsay to distribute in his area of mission work.
This project is part of our support of the Seventh-day Adventist mission work in North-East Choisuel. As a result Lindsay will inform the appropriate Seventh-day Adventist authorities about the project soon.
In the meantime we are now working on a project plan for the new 1000 Bibles. We have contacted some seniour Seventh-day Adventist pastors in Australia regarding the modern translation that may be appropriate for the local people in Choiseul. The recommendation we got was for the New King James Version (NKJV). We hope the NKJV will be easy ready for our local people in Lauru (Choisuel Island).
This project is a very important project for us because the date 29 May 2014 is the anniversary of the 100 Years of the Seventh-day Adventist Church in Solomon Islands. Consequently, this project is our commemoration project to celebrate the 100 Years anniversary of the Seventh-day Adventist Church in Solomon Islands. A project to acknowledge God's grace in the last 100 years in our nation. It is also an opportunity to share that grace with our fellow Lauru people.
Those who are impressed to help can contact Lauru Supporting Ministry for more information.
