Chapter 13
“Neither Are Your Ways My Ways”, Declares
the Lord
While the SIL and Australian Baptist missionaries were at the site and the area villagers came to grieve
their loss, a memorial service was held at the location of the disaster. The Gospel was shared and
encouragement was given that those who die in the Lord do not die in vain.
Kathryn’s body was buried on a knoll overlooking what had been the village. Crosses were erected to
remember the others who died. After the memorial service conducted by the Australian Baptist Mission
working in the area, the SIL people returned to Ukarumpa.
Sometime later the villagers re-interred the body of Kathryn at another location they felt more
appropriate.
