Aprašymas

Last Cucumber on the Vine is the amazing story of Adriaan van der Bijl and his thirty-year commitment to the Stone Age Nduga tribe who lived deep within the mountainous terrain of Papua, Indonesia. Adriaan van der Bijl is no stranger to distant places. Born on the island of Sumatra, educated in Indonesia, Dutch by ancestry, American by residency, Canadian by marriage, he is a true international worker. It is not surprising that he welcomed the assignment to move to Papua. Adriaan trekked the length and breadth of Ndugaland's thirty by seventy-mile territory. Along with a team of four, he built airstrips, homes, churches, schools, medical clinics. He addressed physical, spiritual, and educational needs. He taught the people about God and how they could interact with him. A giant of a man, he battled natural disasters, tribal wars, malaria outbreaks. Through it all, he kept his sights on the God who was unstoppably building his church.
