Forty-Second Pacific Islands Forum in Auckland

The Pacific Islands Forum is held in Auckland this week. It coincides with the Opening of the Rugby World Cup in Auckland.
I pray that genuine and caring outcomes will be reached in terms of alleviating poverty, combating global warming, fair trade policies, access to education and health services, just and environment friendly investments, and a non-boomerang aid approach to aid to the pacific islands.

I pray that leaders of the pacific islands will find the courage to stand up for the people of the pacific against the dominance of bigger nations.

Please Lord may your spirit of love enter the minds of the delegates at the Pacific Islands Forum - AMEN.
