LaVerne and Alma Tucker travel all over the world as missionaries for Jesus. They sleep in mud huts in Africa.When they fly to missions they fly low to see the great African elephants, giraffes, hippos, zebras and wildebeest. They asked at a mission if mothers wanted to dedicate their babies to God. They asked before dedication please remove and hand us the witchdoctors strings placed on the babies, over 100 babies witchdoctor strings were handed to the missionaries. While this seems strange perhaps to Americans today in 2016 many Africans still practice witchcraft with the witch doctors.The photos in this book are wonderful with the US missionaries holding the precious African babies and people for baptism.

The Tuckers move on to Thailand. Most Thai's are Buddhist, Hindu and Animist.Their families are enraged when they become Christians and often beat their teen or young adult children. Freedom of religion as we know it does not exist in much of the world.
