Return of the White Book: True Stories of God at Work in Southeast Asia
The story of how the Gospel came to the Karen tribes in Southeast Asia. The people lived in the mountains and were persecuted by the Burmese. Their stories and songs spoke of the creation of the world by “Yuwah” and the first humans’ disobedience and capture and slavery to an enemy and evil spirits called “nats”. “Yuwah” left them and they had to constantly appease these “nats”.
However, there was a ray of hope because it was predicted that one day there would be a pale brother who would come to the nation with a White Book. Thabew from the Karen people met Adoniram Judson, the first American missionary and was the first of many of his people to come to faith in Christ as they had been anticipating the Gospel message for generations.

The Good News Must Go Out (Rebecca Davis)
From one old woman’s prayer a young girl was brought to faith, a missionary was sent to Africa and then a church was born from among the people of Central Africa. Missionaries from the West came with the message of Jesus Christ – but it was the men and women saved from cannibalism, the young boys who herded goats and who carted water who really brought the Good News even farther to more and more villages and homesteads in Africa — and the Good News must go out.
