A Yagaria Adventure

Each time we have a group of students here at Interface we take them on a 2 to 7 day side trip into a tribal location to see a church plant in progress.  This time is a culmination of everything they've been learning in the classroom up until then.  We have two summer programs here at Interface, one in May/June and the other in July/August - both 5 weeks long.  In June we took the students to the Yagaria tribe which has been an established church for years - the Yagaria believers are now the ones taking the truth of Christ to other tribes and villages!  Very cool. 


Apparently no one told us we'd be hiking a mammoth mountain.


We were able to watch the baptism of 29 Yagaria believers...pretty inspiring.  Pastors from several different Yagaria churches took turns baptizing them all. 


Tinned mackerel and rice for breakfast...yum.  I opted out on the tin fish, for the sake of my stomach.




When your toilet is a hole in the ground, it doesn't really matter whose you use. 
When you gotta go, you gotta go. 



Whitney and Abigail are two students and good friends who survived the hike with me.  Our shoes and skirts didn't fare so well.
