Fascinating biographical account of early missionaries to the Dani people of Irian Jaya. Sensitive accounts of the struggles of westerners who had to change their lifestyle drastically, and the gentle ways they reached out to people with very different customs, ensuring that the Gospel message was not tainted with western culture. Well written, if a little slow in places, and some excellent principles as an appendix, such as encouraging locals to run their own congregations, with their own guidelines, and also to send out their own missionaries.

At this critical time John and Helen Dekker gave themselves to the Dani, helping them discover the gospel of Jesus Christ and their destiny as helpers of other tribes.....'Torches of Joy' is a model for cross-cultural mission strategy..." -- page 4 of cover.
