Contact Established with Potters and Isaacs on Vanuatu – They Are Safe!

by | Mar 14, 2015

Vanuatu, South Pacific: This evening an update was received from Harmon Schmelzenbach, Field Strategy Coordinator.

Just got through to the Potters as communication is slowly coming back online, and they as well as Isaacs are all shaken but everyone is doing okay!!

They say that they have no doubt of the power of prayer as hour after hour it sounded and felt like they were being hit by a train and later they saw the incredible level of destruction across the entire island including loss of life, but their home did not sustain any damage…   which doesn’t make any sense except for God’s protection!

We’ll get a more detailed report tomorrow morning but for now there is no current report of any Nazarenes killed.
