*According to Wycliffe.org: The Pacific Islands area, sometimes called Oceania, encompasses: Australia, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, thousands of coral atolls and volcanic islands of the south Pacific Ocean, including the Melanesia and Polynesia groups, and Micronesia—widely scattered group of islands that run along the northern and southern edges of the Equator.
