Heli to Gende - Month 21

I had the privilege of tagging along on a helicopter trip taking supplies to missionaries, Paul and Susan, who live in a village in the Gende tribe. It was an amazing experience seeing the beauty of God’s creation and the work of these missionaries.

One of many mountain ranges in PNG

Small, remote villages are spread throughout the mountains

Gende is only accessible by helicopter
There is not a place to build an airstrip

The helicopter is a huge blessing as it brings needed supplies to missionaries and brings the missionaries in and out of the village

 Children love to carry the cargo in exchange for a piece of candy

 Precious cargo in more ways than one!

Thomas, Elis, and me
Thomas and Elis do not know Christ as their Saviour
Please pray for their salvation
