Tribe That Formerly Practiced Witchcraft and Killed Missionaries Turns to God
John Paluska | Wednesday, October 14, 2020
The Yali Tribe in Papa New Guinea, which used to kill missionaries, practice witchcraft and engage in cannibalism, is now following God and graciously accepting 2,500 Bibles flown to them. The Bibles came from Mission Aviation Fellowship (MAF), a Christian organization that flies Bibles to areas that cannot receive them in other ways.
This flight took place 55 years after the tribe was first discovered by Mission Aviation Fellowship in a flight survey in 1965. Dale was working on the book of Acts when he and colleague Phil Masters were tragically killed in 1968.
Two of the tribe’s warriors ambushed the missionaries as they were scouting out a place for a new airstrip in order to shared the Gospel with a “particularly hostile Yali tribe,” MAF reports. The tribal warriors attacked the missionaries because they were spreading a message that went against the tribe’s witchcraft and beliefs. The two missionaries took more than 200 arrows before they died.
There are now more than 100 churches among the Yali people.
And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come. …Matt 24:14
