Fiji



The nation of Fiji is a grouping of 322 islands that is located in the South Pacific. Fiji is a Christian nation but it is only 3 generations away from being a cannibalistic nation. Eventhough they are known for being a Christian nation close to 50% of kids are sexually abused in the families as they grow up.  
Ministry Points in FIJI

Family Ministry, Orphanages, Prison Ministry,Open air proclamation, Tribal Ministry(potential of staying with a tribe for awhile ministering to them), Relational Ministry





These are some of the people from the YWAM base in Nadi, Fiji. Nadi is the town that the International airport for Fiji is in and this is the base that we will most likely be starting at.


The two major Religions there are Christianity and Hinduism. Also the two major people groups are the Indians and the Fijians. There is major conflict between the Indians and the Fijians.






We leave England on January 1st and January 3rd for Fiji. There are 2 different teams because we were only able to get half the team on one plane. Outreach is supposed to start on December 17th but we could only find cheap tickets on January 1st and 3rd so we are still looking for options for the first 2 weeks. We are looking at going somewhere in Europe for the first 2 weeks, that includes northern England. We will most likely be working with a YWAM base during those weeks, coming along side a ministry that is being pioneered.
