Sunday visit

I went with Fr. Erasmus to an outstation from the town of Yamfo. He is working to establish a congregation so their resources are quite limited. There is an Anglican School there.

Behind the fence is the classroom for the nursery                                                                                                        children of the school

There is no church building as of yet so worship under the trees using the desks from the school or in a school class room

We went to visit the chief and his wife (both wearing green below) before the service. The surroundings were very humble to say the least indicating the economic level of the village. Later he and his wife came to the service (they are Methodist but when they do not go into to town, they attend the Anglican service) Chief, his wife, Fr. Erasmus, His wife May and oldest son, daughter on mommy's back
