The Awayo Story

Tuesday, October 6th, 2009

This is an amazing new video of the true story of Awayo.  Awayo is a Moi man who lives in one of the remotest parts of the world.  This story was particularly of interest to us because it takes place in Indonesia, which is where we are heading.  Enjoy and let me know what you think. 

This is one of the best illustrationof the spiritual darkness that thousands of people groups live in everyday all around the world.  Fear is the chief word in a animistic (tribal) context.  They live in fear of offending the spirits, fear of darkness, fear of death, fear of neighbouringclans, fear of sickness caused by the spirits, fear of eating the wrong food because it would offend the spirits, etc.  Every part of life is entangled with the spirit world.  How awesome to think that  just in last few years for the first time in the history of the Moi people that the gospel and the truth of who our Creator is has set free and continues to set free many among Moi of Papua Indonesia!!!
