PHILIPPINES, VOLCANO MT. PINATUBO

They call her "Tina" because she reminds them of American rock star Tina Turner. Sad, they knew more about Tina than they did about the Gospel.

The Aeta tribe of pygmies lived on the slopes of Mt. Pinatubo. When it erupted it blew away their homes, their livelihood, and their ancesters' graves. Their ancestors' graves were their link to the supernatural. The volcano blew away their religeous underpinnings.

Many Aetas accepted Christ as our team brought clean water and food--and the Gospel--to their refugee camps.
