Cannibal Valley is the thrilling account of the spiritual advance into Dutch New Guinea by intrepid Christian missionaries who daily risk their lives to bring the gospel to Stone Age Dani tribesman. The "valley that time forgot" was first discovered in 1938. Sixteen years later, after several attempts, American missionaries established a mission and found cannibalism, wife-stealing, orgiastic feasts, barbaric funeral rites, quick friendliness and sudden threats of murder. The missionaries, working under incredible hardships and deadly risks, treated the sick, visited the villages, reduced the Dani language to writing, and preached the "Jesus way." Warfare and heathen practices still continued. After years of missionary self-sacrifice, a spiritual awakening began, starting among relatives of the Danis in a distant valley. At one huge mass charm-burning 7000 tribes people broke with their spirit worship to embrace the Christian gospel. Today, churches have sprung up on ancient tribal battlegrounds. War-scarred ex-cannibals sing their three-note hymns of praise to God. The love, ardor and selfless service of the Early Church lives again among these primitive people who have made the giant leap from Stone Age savagery into the joys of Christian fellowship. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
