Report from Bruce (president of Wycliffe Associates) on the Folopa NT dedication

Bruce Smith, the president of Wycliffe Associates, went to PNG for the dedication of the Folopa NT. Reading his report on the Wycliffe Associates blog took me back to Folopa. He wrote, "We were encouraged to find that our mountain destination at Mt. Tawa was clear enough to land. The airstrip is located on a steep slope near the mountain peak (it took 9 years for the local community to build this airstrip) but, again, our pilot made the landing seem very routine. As we taxied to the parking area at the top end of the airstrip there were hundreds of Folopa people waiting to welcome us. The celebration was already in full swing" Bruce stayed in the Men's house and his wife stayed with Neil and Carol Anderson in their house that Brendon, Courtney, Sara, and myself stayed in. He talked about Pastor Paul and Oliver and the village being so excited with the dedication. Read the full post on the blog here. And here are a few more pictures from this blog of the Folopa village.
