      <image:title>Our Missionaries - Garry and Faith McCay, along with 10 month old baby Claire, moved into the village of Ora in September 1999 to plant a church among the isolated Kol people of East New Britain, Papua New Guinea. Whilst on furlough in 2003, their son, Kade, was born. For the first 5 years they worked on learning the language and culture of the people, and established a medical clinic to serve the pressing needs of the locals. In 2004 they began teaching literacy in the Kol language and presented the Gospel first in 2005. There are now 3 locations where regular church services are held using the lessons Garry has developed. Garry continues to write and teach Bible lessons and is working on a draft of the New Testament in the Kol language as well. The local men and women now have the responsibility of the daily medical and literacy programs with the McCays providing materials and other support when needed. Some of the local men are also training as Bible teachers.</image:title>
