Today I had the opportunity to visit the Knockani tribe in Galilo. It's about a 40 minute drive into the bush from where I live. I love just going and seeing the people in their homes and chatting to them (in the limited Pigeon i know).
Two missionary families have just moved into this tribe about a month ago so it is a very new work. There is a picture of one of their newly built houses at the bottom. It is such a contrast to the housing of the tribal people. Sometimes I think it's a little bit unfair that the "white man" comes in and builds a huge house on their land with all his fancy gadgets, but I was reminded today that this house is not only their home but a school for their children, an office for a pastor, a clinic for the tribe and a 24/7 drop-in centre.
The Knockani people were very welcoming and wanted their pictures taken at every opportunity. It was a great day and I look forward to hearing about the new independant church plant there in the next few years. Pray for the two missionary families as they now start language study and adjust culturally to this new setting.
Love,
