A warm welcome in Liethnom

Spot the visitors in the middle of the crowd

It was around 36 deg C when we landed in Liethnom yesterday afternoon and we were about 3 hours later than originally planned, so you might expect that the welcoming party would be rather small. But despite the heat and the long wait my passengers were very warmly welcomed by a large group of local people.

The small group had travelled all the way from the USA and will be spending this week giving teaching on pastoral work, children's ministry, women's ministry and trauma recovery with a group called ALARM. At the end of the week they will join in the graduation ceremony for the group graduating from the ALARM Pastoral Leadership Training Institute in Liethnom.
