This is a story of how God took hold of an ordinary and ’lost’ adolescent, redeemed him, and transformed him by the power of the Holy Spirit. Called into ministry as a Bible translator in West Africa, he analyzed and wrote the grammar of six languages and then translated the Scriptures and compiled dictionaries in all six of them. This adventurous life was lived in an Islamic context where voodoo persists, including the worship of spirits, demon possession, black magic, curses and taboos. These are described in detailed stories which will challenge your world-view. There were many hindrances to the work from Islam, communism, tropical diseases, atrocious roads, a spiritual attack resulting in complete paralysis, and his wife’s devastating struggle with rheumatoid arthritis. The story documents his perseverance and desire to reach these unevangelised people groups with the good news of the Lord Jesus Christ. Over the decades, thousands of Boko people have been saved and given a new purpose in life. In addition, their lives have been improved through literacy, music, medical help, sustainable agricultural programs and support for students.
