(Premier Christian News) A remote Indonesian tribe responsible for killing two missionaries in the 1960s have since been profoundly impacted by the gospel and are now excited to receive Bibles in their language.
The Mission Aviation Fellowship (MAF) lost two of its mission workers, Stan Dale and Phillip Masters, in 1965 as they arrived to scout out a place for a new airstrip in order to explain the gospel to the Yali tribe. As they made their way through the jungle, they were set upon by the tribe’s warriors, who fired a volley of arrows at the men, killing them, along with a tribesman called Luliap Pahabo – the first Yali man to receive the gospel.
