We are heading unto our first tribal location. The plane landed in a small muddy airstrip. That’s where missionary, Lisa Kappeler met us. She was barefoot with mud almost up to her knees.
As we followed her down the trail, slopping through the mud – I just thought of that verse “How beautiful are the feet of those who take the gospel ……” The truth is not many people would be willing to walk through the mud or live in a palm house on the edge of a hot swamp or battle the mosquitos and disease. Would you?
The two hour trip in the dugout canoe allowed Lisa to share her passion with reaching these tribal people. She is the bible translator and has been churning out God’s Word for this group of new believers. One of the most exciting things in the world is watching a missionary’s face lite up as when tribal people catch the truth of Gods Word.
Our first village experience here in Papua New Guinea is going to be way beyond our expectations.
Written from a 40′ long dugout. Keep tracking us and keep praying. Macon
