FRENCH POLYNESIA, overseas collectivity
of France consisting of five archipelagoes in the south-central Pacific Ocean.

Included are some 130 islands scattered across the Pacific between latitudes 7° and 27° S and longitudes 134° and 155° W—a total land area roughly equivalent to that of metropolitan Paris and London combined but spread across a swath of ocean five times as large as France.

The archipelagoes are the Society Islands, Tuamotu Archipelago, Gambier Islands, Marquesas Islands, and Tubuai Islands. The capital, Papeete, is on Tahiti, French Polynesia’s largest island (403 square miles [1,043 square km]), in the Society group.



GLOBAL 
PRAYER REQUEST
Malaysian Airlines’ downed Flight MH17 with 298 people onboard is an international tragedy.


We must cover the grieving relatives and nations with our prayers. Many are in a mood of deep despair and anguish of soul in the time of such great and unexpected loss.

For many, the grief has turned to anger.
•Pray for wisdom as world leaders seek to find an end to political conflicts.
•Pray that in the midst of this darkest of tragedies, the hearts of people and nations will be opened to find God ~ the only source of true peace in a troubled world.

PACIFIC PRAISE REPORTS

TUVALU’S VERY FIRST BAPTISM!
Following a Home Bible Study on July 5, 2014, AIMer Carter Moore takes Julian (a Fijian carpenter) to the Funafuti Lagoon and baptizes him in the Name above every name, Jesus! Pray for TUVALU as the Carter Moore’s AIM term is completed and they’ve returned to the States. WHO WILL GO?

Australia Superintendent, John Downs, reports: 2 week intensive indigenous Bible School on Yam Island, Torres Strait. 38 graduated /
Level 1 Course! 8 received Local License!

TONGA National
Conference Report: 10 filled with the Holy Spirit! 3 Baptized in the Name of Jesus!THANK YOU, Rev. Stan Harvey & Team (Sydney, Australia) for your anointed ministry!


AIMing HIGH in the SOLOMON’S: 
(To date: 2 have received the Holy Ghost
and 14 baptized!)

AIMer, PAUL RECORDS, reports:
"I have spent my first week as an AIMer in the Solomon Islands. I have stayed busy. By the week's end, I will have preached and taught 12 different times. The people here have big hearts and love Bible teaching.

Next week I will be starting a young men's Bible study and also work on the Bible school compound to repair and build a few items.

On Friday, they are planning a trip for me to another island named Malaita. It will be a long boat ride followed by a long bumpy truck ride through the jungle. With 3 other men, we will bring leadership and ministry resources, train pastors, and also teach in the local churches and villages.

You can feel an excitement building in the air. God is showing himself strong. Thank you to all who have given to my endeavor. In only a week, many pastors have received training and resources, much teaching has been done, and hearts are being healed.

With a God like our God, ministry is a great big adventure." #aim2go #missions
