Waifalonga Village

Our group of missionaries were divided in 4 teams to reach out to surrounding villages. My team went to the village of Waifalonga which is just about 10-15 min motor boat ride.

some school kids from Waifalonga just came over with their dug out canus

renovating th local adventist church
Here we had evangelistic meetings every evening! I had also the privilige to give some health talks about the importance and use of water internally and externally, hygine and the 8 health laws. It is really important to start with the basics to teach them how to live healthy!

That's the chief standing on the right side, he is still quite young but his father died some few years ago.

the "last supper". That was the last night we spent togehter at Waifalonga and the whole village was present having a special ceremony to say good bye. These were very moving moments. This oicture shows the meal we had together.
