Jason and Angie Bechtel Connecting You to Tribal Missions On October 5th I posted a new tribal video from New Tribes Mission of Canada. That version had English dubbing. I have since found a version with English sub-titles and Awayo telling his own story.
Here is a bit more information to go with the film:
Awayo lives in the mountainous jungle regions of West Papua, Indonesia. His tribe is called “Moi”(’moy’); there are only 700-800 Moi in existence. The Moi have a language and culture completely their own. Their primitive lifestyle is one that you wouldn’t think still truly exists in the 21st Century. Awayo’s home is as “ends of the earth” as you can get.
This is Awayo’s story. Though he lives in an indigenous, remote tribe, Awayo’s life is anything but simple. Riddled with pain, murder & deception, life in the Moi tribe was spent in constant fear. There was no hope. Then something happened that shook the foundation of Awayo’s life.
AWAYO – Fear to Faith (English subtitles) from New Tribes Mission on Vimeo.
I just finished watching the videoof Moi from Indonesia. It really touched my heart to see the darkness that men still live in today. But what really touched my heart was to see the change that was made in lives when the missionaries came and shared God’s love through Jesus Christ with them and they slowly began to believe. The old fears began to fall away as truth touched their souls and one by one, they were born again.
Praise God for folks like Jason and Angie who are willing to share their lives with those who go and tell the marvelous story to folks like Moi.
God bless you.
