Samoalive! 1 April) Organisation for the Crusade
The overall coordination is being done here, in Samoa, through Graceland
Broadcasting Network (GBN), so all email can be sent to GBN.  This would
appear to be the best contact for anyone who needs further information.  GBN
will be able to refer any inquiries on group travel to Samoa to the relevant
pastor overseas.  All matters in Samoa are being handled by different
Subcommittees and all inquiries on these will either be responded to
directly by GBN, or referred to the relevant Subcommittee if necessary.
Ricky Meredith is the Crusade Coordinator and his GBN email contact is :
