At the end of January 2024 Judi and I traveled with a small team to French Polynesia in the South Pacific to encourage the work of Samaritan’s Purse’s Operation Christmas Child. Their goal is to reach every child on every island of French Polynesia with a Christmas gift box and the message of Jesus being the reason for Christmas. Small boats are the key to reaching the isolated islands with no airport. This process has begun. In the picture, several of us are going over the map of the islands to determine which ones are truly isolated.
