Synopsis

Wandering along paths and thick, overgrown jungle, are Pygmies and forest people whose sharp eyes search for some movement in the underbrush or heavy vines high in the trees above. Trained ears listen for monkey shrieks, various deer snorts or elephants trumpeting. An occasional gorilla pounds his chest and waits for an answer. Bows with poison arrows are raised for the kill. A spear or gun will be lifted in the silence. All are breathless! The kill is at hand, assuring them that meat has been found for another day. The jungle of the Congo gives up its bounty. Gene and Sandy Thomas are the only white people alive today who have written down the history of this part of Congo Brazzaville. Beyond Jungle Walls will challenge you to the great task of carrying the Gospel to the ends of the earth. You will journey with them through their years under communist rule, being on hit lists to be murdered, and living through conflicts as well as an ethnic war. This Book includes never before seen pictures of the Congo 1,000 churches across the US have supported Gene and Sandy Thomas over the last 40 years representing over 100,000 potential buyers for this book.
