Coming Spring 2014!  When Adoniram Judson took the gospel of Jesus Christ to the people of Burma in 1813, he didn’t know that high up in the hills lived a tribe of people whose ancient stories and songs served as continual reminders that one day the White Book that their ancestors had lost would be brought back to them. Sixteen chapters on the upper-elementary level tell stories of the transformation that the Word of God brought to the Hill Tribes of Southeast Asia.

In 1938, in the remote highlands of a mountainous island, explorers discovered thousands upon thousands of tribal people. Missionaries began to come, to bring the Good News of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Little did they know that many of the people of the tribes were waiting . . . waiting . . . for someone to come and help them out of the darkness of their old way of life. Fifteen chapters recount the true missionary stories of the gospel spreading throughout the highlands of Papua, Indonesia, from 1955 to 2010, when one of the tribes received their first New Testaments.

Why would a slave and a witch doctor walk for three days to find the white man called Jesus? Why would a crippled old man slide down a hillside and wait by the side of the road every day for twenty years? Why would a lame man purposely walk to a tribe where he knew he would be killed? Written on the upper-elementary level, sixteen true missionary stories taken from the ministry of one missionary show the power of God in the midst of darkness, among people of Ethiopia who saw the great light of the gospel.
