Last night at our Bible Institute, I shared this video with our students.
The Kimyal people live in West Papua, Indonesia. They were untouched by the outside world until 1963 when two missionaries, Phil and Phyllis Masters, made initial contact. A few years later in 1968, Phil was marytred and cannabalized. He was 36 years old.
The gospel, however, took root in the hearts and minds of the Kimyal. Finally, in 2010, they received the New Testament in their language. And the hands that proffered the first New Testaments were those of Phyllis Masters.
This video records the Kimyal's thoughts and celebration upon the arrival of the very first New Testament Bibles.
If you are a lover of God's Word, please set aside five minutes to view this. Warning: you may want to have a tissue handy. To read a brief firsthand account of that day, click here.
