Our Witchdoctors Are Too Weak

I loved this book! I highly recommend it! Davey writes with such humor that it makes living in the jungle seem like TONS of FUN! I always asked the Lord to send me to the city, and even after reading this, where it sounds like such fun, I can only say to the Lord, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU for sending me to the city! Not that San Juan del Rio is such a huge city, but it IS a city! We have all the modern conveniences - well, most of them anyway!

Gracia Burnham says of this book: This book is awesome! We loved it and laughed and laughed. An entertaining and informative jungle adventure. Two thumbs up!

And even in the fun, Larry Brown, CEO of New Tribes Mission says, "Reflects the hardships, frustrations, complications, fun and sometimes bewilderment of living among a people so greatly different that your own. I highly recommend it."

And you know what? Davey lived among these Wilo people ten years before he and his team were able to speak enough and write the language enough to share Christ with them. That takes dedication! Super strength that only God can give. Even in his humor, Davey sneaked in a lot of wonderful truths about how God was and is working among the Wilo people. What an amazing story!

Check it out! Please.
