Alta tribe visit

(I thought that this had been posted many months ago, but it was showing as a draft, so here it is. )  Anthropologists estimate that less than 200 people  currently speak the native tongue of the Alta (north) tribe here in Aurora.   Sixty five percent of the words in their language are unique – not shared with any other known language.  We were invited to visit their new tribal hall in Binuangan and organized a group of people from the church to hike in with us.  About three dozen people responded to the Gospel presentation, receiving Jesus as Lord.  It rained heavily the night before (and while we were there) and the trail was muddy.  But it was a great time of fellowship and we enjoyed the time there.  I know we’ll return there again.
