Yagrumbok SSEC Missions Conference

The Yagrumbok ambulance that was sent to transport us to the conference!

Rocky and I were invited to the first South Seas Evangelical Church missions conference in Yagrumbok on January 19 – 23. We left Wewak around 10AM in the Yagrumbok ambulance. Unfortunately the car has a unique side to side motion that makes people car sick very quickly. We arrived at the side road about 6PM. This road was impassable due to slick mud so we hiked the rest of the way and arrived after dark around 7. The house was wonderful and they even had a mosquito net set up for us to sleep under.

The welcome group that brought us to the church.

The next day we walked down to the church and were welcomed by a “singsing” group. They hit their kundu drums, danced, and chanted our way to the church. We were greeted at the church by some ladies who put flowers around our neck and sprinkled our hair with white powder.
