Challenges for Prayer

Christian resources are scarce. The Bible was recently completed in Futunan, but Wallisian/Uvean only has portions. Beyond the Bible, there are no Christian resources of note in either language, so believers must understand French to read or listen to Christian material.
     For an additional Challenge for Prayer see Operation World book, CD-ROM, or DVD-ROM.
