Chuuk is one of the four states comprising the Federated States of Micronesia, an independent nation in the South Pacific.

Our team travels with Major Eric Tumale, The Salvation Army’s officer in charge of social services and ministry in the region, as he visits Chuuk to assess operations. There, he spends time with Ranik and Ema Oster, Chuukese lay leaders of the local Salvation Army church, and they take him throughout the island, showing him the state of life and ministry on the island. They explore both the highs: the tropical landscape, the world-class diving, the tight-knit community - and the lows: rising sea levels, food insecurity, and a depressed economy.

Micronesia is a fascinating place. We hope this video provides an insightful glimpse into life there. Come along, and travel with Major Tumale as he explores and learns about life on the islands of Chuuk State!
