We were collecting canned food for the needy in the neighbourhood around our church. I was paired up with an older lady, one of my Sabbath school teachers. We had a modest haul of imperishable goods when we came to a certain house. It was unremarkable for that part of Adelaide: low wire fence and gate, path up to the front porch, brick and painted gables. We knocked and waited. The door opened and before we had got through our pitch, I was engulfed in a barking maelstrom of fur and teeth, saliva flying. My adult shielded me as we sprinted for the gate, while the dog’s adult tried to get it under control. It had death in its eyes. I can’t remember if I cried or if the fear paralysed my tear glands. Already anxious about knocking on the doors of strangers, this little encounter left me petrified. I broke down again when reunited with my parents and the story blubbered out.

  • Aore Adventist Hospital, Vanuatu
    Aore Adventist Hospital Photo courtesy of Adventist Heritage Centre, Australia. Aore Adventist Hospital, Vanuatu DAVID ROGERS David Rogers, M.Ed. (Avondale College, Cooranbong, Australia) retired in 2018 from the South Queensland Conference of the Seventh-day Adventist Church, Australia. David (an Australian) served God in Adventist Education as a teacher, university lecturer and school principal. Twelve of his seventeen years of Mission service were spent at Aore Adventist Academy, Vanuatu. In retirement, he assists Aore on a voluntary basis with its ongoing maintenance needs. He is married to Danielle, with three adult children. Aore Adventist Hospital operated between 1961 and 1977, and again briefly in 1981. It was located on the campus of Aore Adventist High School New Hebrides (modern Vanuatu).1 Developments That Led to the Establishment of the Hospital Vanuatu, known prior to its 1980 independence as the New Hebrides, saw the first Seventh-day Adventist missionaries arrive in 1912. They started working on the central island of Malekula whose people were amongst the most savage in the country. Their culture was steeped in heathen customs and tribal warfare.2 Their hygiene was non- existent. From the beginning, basic health care and hygiene were integral to the early missionaries’ work. By the mid-1920s, the mission’s leaders felt that they should start a training school to educate students from several islands whose villagers had renounced their animistic way of life. The missionaries searched for and found a property on Aore, an island off the southern coast of the island of Espiritu Santo. The site was considered ideal because its harbor would offer a safe anchorage for the mission’s boats.3 The mission station commenced operations in 1927, comprising an elementary school and ministerial training school.
