Vanuatu: the Navut people
Vanuatu is a Pacific island beyond most cruise-ship ports or holiday resorts. It is an ancient culture, in remote and rugged islands of a scattered 80-plus island archipelago. There are an estimated 1,100 speakers of the Navut language, one of 115 languages spoken across Vanuatu. Navut speakers live in the west central part of Espiritu Santo Island, the largest island in Vanuatu. Approximately 40% of Navut speakers profess Christianity. The remaining 60% follow ethnic religions of the islands. Access to Scripture in their own language will help all Navut speakers to learn about God’s love for themselves. Pray for God to provide a team of translators to begin work for the Navut, and for more of them to come to know Christ.
Turkey: Russian ambassador assassinated
A Turkish policeman murdered the Russian ambassador to Turkey at Ankara’s Contemporary Arts Centre. He passed through security using his police identity card. Russia and Turkey are on opposite sides of the Syrian war, and there is a lot of public anger in Turkey about Russia’s most recent actions. Many believe the direct rivalry between Russia and Turkey is prompting more animosity on the streets in many countries touched by the fallout of this bloody war.
