We recently returned from a trip to Kupang, West Timor (East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia), where I led a team of 12 (including my wife and 4 children) on a Wings To Work trip to spend some time at the New Hope Home and the Elpida School. This was my second visit to Kupang - I was a member of a Wings To Work team in September 2014.
One of the (many) highlights of our trip this year was a visit to the mission post at Barate, north of Kupang. The photo above was shot on the beach at Barate, just a short walk from the area where we were camping under the trees. A 30 second exposure captured some of the stars, as well as the sparks flying from the fire.
Some more photos from the same evening on the beach are below.
