Outline : Amazing True Stories of Spiritual Victory and Personal Triumph
ON EVERY CONTINENT, IN EVERY NATION, God is at work in and through the lives of believers. From the streets of Manila to mysterious Albania to the jungles of Ecuador and beyond, each international adventure that emerges is a dramatic episode that could be directed only by the hand of God.
"O Creator, greetings! We never knew you existed, but here we are!"
In 1960 the 25,000 Dani tribespeople hidden away in the remote Toli Valley of Irian Jaya used only stone tools and had no written language. Then, in one generation, they took the always dangerous, sometimes fatal, leap from the Stone Age into the twentieth century. At this critical time, John and Helen Dekker gave themselves to the Dani tribespeople, helping them discover the gospel of Jesus Christ and their destiny as helpers of other tribes. Today, the seventy-nine churches of the Toli Valley, with 13,000 baptized believers, have sent out sixty-five couples to other tribes needing the gospel.
A chapter from a present-day Book of Acts, Torches of Joy is a model for cross- cultural mission strategy and one of this century's most striking chronicles of God's grace and power.
