A story about a missionary with congenital deformities who worked in Irian Jaya, Indonesia, and accomplished so much. I wish there were more details about the cultures and individuals he worked with.

What good people William Cutts and his wife Grace are. As young American Baptists, they learn Linguistics, and travel to West Papua or Irian Jaya, to set up a mission with the Moni People of Papua.
As a young married couple in the 1960s, William and Grace became the first White people who their parish had ever seen. They set up a house and a small church and set about learning the Papuan's language. As they learned the vocabulary, they wrote a dictionary, then short Bible passages in the local language, preserving the dialect forever, and giving it written form. When a mother died in childbirth, Grace asked the father what would happen to the baby? "He will die, of course," was the sad reply. Grace asked if she could adopt the child, and before long, has four foster children from similar circumstances. They hired a local woman as their Nanny, and went about their ministry. when Tribal Warriors are deciding whether to kill the white people or not, the presence of the Nanny for the four local children, fat and healthy, persuaded the head-hunters to let Cutts and his wife live. Fascinating.

I'm Grandson of Isa Sabo on this book story. My father told me that before Misionaris came, my Grandfather with his brother and friend like to seeking the Hazi to west till reach Napan (upper Nabire Papua), people in the Moni tribe got prophecy from ancestor that "Hazi will come from west", Hazi basicly mean Holy one.
But for me i'm still curious about Isa Sabo's roles. My father told amazing things about him.

Thank you for your service to us in the mountains of West Papua, especially the moni tribe. May God bless you, wherever you are and what you do.
