Author's Note
An unplanned visit to Vanuatu in 2001 changed me. I witnessed 80 miracles and saw more than 600 people choose to follow Jesus. Each day of the three weeks was an adventure. During my time throughout the trip, I recorded my thoughts, observations, and experiences in two journals. Having almost losing them last year, I decided after 20 years, to publish them. They are real and raw, though I have removed a few of my sharper comments and disguised some of the names. You will be surprised to read the stories of what God did during that mission.
My greatest joy was meeting my friend and brother Jerry. Ever since this first trip, Wendy has supported my broad ministry in the South Pacific. My friend John created the term Coconut Apostles as a joke to describe our bumbling obedience to the Holy Spirit. I am grateful for everything he taught me.
