Latter-day Saint leaders in Vanuatu confirmed this morning
that missionaries serving on Efate, Santo, Malekula and Gaua islands are
accounted for and safe. Efforts are continuing in establishing contact with
missionaries on other outer islands.
Church leaders in Port Vila purchased food and other
emergency supplies yesterday which are being distributed to Church members and
others who are sheltering at Church buildings, as well as others who have moved
back to their properties in order to start rebuilding their homes.
Several Church’s Pacific Area Office employees in Auckland
are flying to Port Vila tomorrow to support local leaders in meeting the needs
of people affected by the cyclone. This includes setting up partnerships with
other churches and agencies so aid can flow as freely and quickly to those in
need.
