SDA News - French Polynesia

"Volunteers supported by Global Mission have established Aratika as a new territory for the Seventh-day Adventist Church in the French Polynesia Mission.
Evangelistic work on this island of some 200 inhabitants began three years ago when a small group of church members from Tahiti stayed for three months, sharing their faith. As a result of those evangelistic efforts, seven people were recently baptized.  
Pastor Marama Tuariihionoa, president of the French Polynesia Mission, accompanied by 20 volunteers from Tahiti (the main island where the capital is situated), helped build a new church with the capacity of 100 seats in 18 days. Through the generous support of Global Mission, the church was able to purchase land in Paparara for the construction of the new building.
With five archipelagoes, French Polynesia consists of 118 islands, 67 of which are inhabited."
