Ni Sa Bula! Warm greetings from Fiji! This nation is a friendly nation, even though it has been through some struggles politically for several years. Most of the population consists of native Fijians, who speak the Fijian language, and people who migrated from India during the colonization period. Christianity is highest among the Fijians, but there are many Indian people who are giving their lives to the Lord and accepting Christianity as their way of life. Fiji has been experiencing revival for the last several years.

Please keep our churches and the people of Fiji in your prayers. Vinaka (Thank you) for your fervent prayers.

The majority of Fiji is mountainous (volcanic in origin) with several peaks exceeding 3000 ft. The balance of the smaller islands is a mixture of coral and limestone. Barrier reefs ring most islands.
