How Project Fiji began:
The morning song of an exotic bird stirs me gently from my sleep. The melody drifts through an open window on the back of a warm tropical breeze. It is still dark outside here in the South Pacific as I listen to the drumming sound of an approaching rain squall. The cascading water marches in rapidly from the ocean, hammers across the tin roof, then it tramps up the mountainside leaving a moist freshness in its wake.  Click here to continue...

News Flashes: (Updated Nov 21, 2008)

Our fall newsletter is in the mail.  If you would like to see the color version click here The New Clinic Mission at Natuvu, and please share it with your friends.  Lots of very important news!

Attention all Physicians, Dentists, Nurses & Physical Therapist.  The Mission at Natuvu, the new eye and dental clinic is now open five days a week and we are looking for volunteers.  You can come out on your own schedule.  The need in the area is huge!  The closest government hospital only has power two hours a day, during which time they have to quickly fill every water container, then when the electricity is shut off see patents using flashing lights, kerosene lanterns and candles.  We can get you full government approval to practice in Fiji and they are eager for your help  For more info, call or email steve.

Looking for Mission Groups.  After the powerful cyclone that hit on Jan 28 we've had some children in the villages come down with typhoid fever, which prompts the DMF to step up our water filtration projects for four villages.  If your church would like to accept one of the villages as a mission project please contact us.  We are also eagerly seeking mission groups to help us develop the DMF 100 acre property.  We need to build housing (bungalows and tree houses), a shower house and other projects.  Steve and Cindy want to film documentaries of life and soul saving mission work in Fiji and show them worldwide on Loma Linda Broadcasting Network.  Having a mission facility with a Swiss-Family-Robinson look to it would help to capture the attention of the world, particularly Christians who have never done mission work, and un-reached youth.  We are youth oriented and very much like to see young people come to Fiji for a life-changing mission trip.

DOLPHINS BLOWING AIR RINGS: Want to see some incredible footage of dolphins blowing air rings and playing with them?  Click here: BlowingRi...wmv (1680.3 KB)  One way to measure an animal's intelligence is to serious look at how much the adult animals of a species plays and how complex the game.  This game is very reflective of the super intelligence of the dolphin's species.  As we learn to understand them better we will just begin to understand that this truely is a magnificent, highly intelligent animal!

Attention all divers.  The dive trip was a huge success and many of the divers are eager to sign up for the next trip scheduled for late July into early August.  Exact dates not yet scheduled.  I am going to tie it in with a mission trip .  This way you have the choice of going on either the dive trip or the mission trip or both!.  We could leave LAX approximately July 26 (Sunday), the dive trip would end August 3 and we would then spend ten days at the mission before flying home on approximately August 13.

Cyclone Gene hits Fiji.  A powerful cyclone has struck Fiji knocking out electricity to much of Fiji and contaminating fresh water supplies.  Buca Bay has been particular hard hit.  Buca Village has been evacuated and is flooded with four feet of water.  We are receiving many requests for urgent assistance.  For more information on the situation in Fiji please visit Fiji Live or Fiji Times on the internet.  We are hoping for rapid financial assistance.  If you can help, please label your donation for Buca/Fiji Assistance Fund.  100% of your donation will go directly to help the people in Fiji devastated by this Cyclone.

Steve & Cindy Arrington launch new weekly half-hour Satellite Television program on Loma Linda Broadcasting Network:  High on Adventure is a youth and family program that seeks to inspire youth and young adults to go for their dreams through positive choices, to encourage a commitment for doing good and to cement a sincere working relationship with Jesus Christ.  Cindy's and my goal is to share our path to adventure, challenge and satisfaction in life.  As the name implies this is an adventure quest with whales, dolphins and sharks, but it goes way beyond that as we dive into life quests that lead to a purpose-driven life.  We'll talk about health issues, examine exciting careers, spend time tramping around beneath the ocean and go on mission trips to Fiji.  Fun for the whole family!  If you don't have the satellite connection, then catch it all on the internet at www.llbn.tv airs Monday 10:00am, Wednesday at 10:00pm, Thursday 4:00pm and Friday 4:00am (PST).

The DMF has completed its first bungalow, which can sleep 20 people.  This has been a real financial challenge for us because the coup of 2006 has pushed-up the prices of construction materials and we had to hire the work out instead of using volunteers.  The take over of the Fijian Government by the military meant we had to cancel our 2007 mission season.  Note: no one was hurt in the coup, which went forward with the permission of the Fijian president.  All remains calm in Fiji and we expect to begin our 2008 mission season as planned.  The only reason we had to cancel for 2007 was because we could not obtain Accident Risk Management Insurance from the GC.  Our relationship with the Government of Fiji is excellent.  The Ministry of Health is particularly interested in our continued support and free service.

Terrific news, the Fiji Mission has decided to renew the lease for Vatuvuon School.  There was a very real threat of the school being closed because of the financial crisis.  The Fiji Mission is receiving less tithing because salaries are severely reduced.  Fiji has been expelled from the British Commonwealth and is receiving no foreign subsidies due to the current government takeover.  The DMF will provide financial assistance as we can though we are still modestly in debt.  We also help to support Nagigi SDA School which now has an enrollment of over 180 students.
