Wycliffe missionary Richard Roe came to Pugyao's village of Dibagat in the Philippines in 1956 and contributed to Pugyao's tribe by teaching the written alphabet and bringing primers in Isnag, which enabled Pugyao and other village children to read in their own language for the first time. After high school, Pugyao knew he wanted to serve God in the mission field. He received aviation training in the United States, then Wycliffe Bible Translators assigned him to the Philippines, helping to fly missionaries and supplies to remote villages. His greatest reward was delivering the first 500 New Testaments back to his own village in 1982. For free tickets to the banquet, call (330) 506-1499.
