Jehu
An
elder in the church of Lufah in the Yagaria tribe. Lufah is the New
Tribes Mission's only "completed" work - begun in the early
1960's and completed in the late 1980's. Jehu is reading a Pidgin
bible. I spent a night in his house together with his family and two
small piglets. Since it was cold, they kept a fire burning all night,
which made the house very smoky. He gave me a big "kina"
shell as a souvenir. The shell can be used as part of the "bride price". |
