As we were hanging around waiting for our lift to appear we got a phone call: the ship had run into mechanical problems and was heading to Suva to be fixed. Particularly disappointed was Ella, who was from Suva and was hoping that DTS outreach would take her further away from her home town!
We loaded the truck and took the 5 hour journey to Fiji’s capital. In the port lay the Pacific Hope, a white, 50m long ship with the YWAM logo emblazed on her side.
