In 2015, LivingStone Media Foundation -- in partnership with Australian Christian Multimedia and Partners in Prayer & Evangelism -- filmed 40 short films of 40 Indigenous Christians from many different localities across Australia telling their life stories.... in 2016, LivingStone Media produced and shared these stories across Australia via television, YouTube, DVD and Facebook.… and countless lives continue to be changed as people watch and share these stories. This year, we're looking to multiply the impact by filming and sharing 40 new short films of New Zealanders and South Pacific Islanders whose lives have been transformed by Jesus. We believe this will contribute to healing and reconciliation between Indigenous and non-Indigenous people groups across the Oceania region. All donations towards our filming and distribution costs are 100% tax deductible in Australia. So please consider making your tax count this EOFY by giving generously towards the 40 Stories South Pacific campaign.... so you can claim your gift on your tax return for this financial year and reap the rewards. The short films will bring hope to many people... that real, lasting, positive change IS possible - even in the most difficult of circumstances, through Jesus. It's time for the stories of South Pacific Islanders to be heard, so we plan to trek and film throughout Oceania in 2017 to capture inspiring life stories of people who live in the following island nations: 1. Solomon Islands 2. New Zealand 3. Papua New Guinea 4. Fiji 5. Tonga 6. Samoa 7.
