George Liu, our staff member, has returned from Papua-New Guinea, and his reports make us so happy that it is hard to sleep at night. God has wonderfully led us and protected us and helped, even as we pursued what to outsiders was a maverick way! You will remember that we wanted a school for girls. One of the men high up on the church staff said impatiently, "We won't be doing anything for girls for years," as if they were at the bottom of the totals pole. But we went stubbornly ahead and asked for a school for girls and the money came, and Nipa Trade School for Girls was established.
