商品簡介

Loretta Doris Anderson was born on November 24th, 1922, in Paterson, NJ. She was the eldest of three daughters, and although her family called her by her middle name, Doris, everyone else used her nickname: Lorrie. She was raised in a working-class home in Ramsey, NJ. After High School, she went to Providence Bible Institute, in Providence, RI, in 1943, where she heard about the Wycliffe Bible Translators (WBT), and their work among Indian tribes in Mexico and South America. Here she set her heart on serving them. In 1946 she went to the Summer Institute of Linguistics (SIL) of the University of Oklahoma, where she learned how to learn a new language.

After God had laid the foundation in her life-a love for Him, an understanding of His Word and a call to the unreached tribes-He began to prepare her to succeed. Lorrie landed in Peru on October 6th, 1948. When she got settled, she spent some time in Lima, the capital, where she learned some survival Spanish by living with a Peruvian family for a month.

In July of 1950, Lorrie and her work partner Doris Cox arrived at the Candoshi-Shapra community of the Pushaga river, in the Amazonian jungles of Peru, where they were met by Chief Tariri, the ferocious leader of the Shapras, a tribe of headhunters. Before their arrival, the Chief said: "Two women? What harm could they do? They're probably just looking for husbands."

Tariri, "Chief of the Seven Rivers" and Chief of the Candoshi-Shapra tribe, a fierce tribe of head shrinkers, was accustomed to killing strangers when they crossed his path. But when two women, Doris Cox and Lorrie Anderson, arrived in his village, he thought perhaps they were looking for husbands, and he let them live!

The girls did not find husbands, but they brought the Word of God to this fast-dying group of Indians in Peru. Tariri was transformed completely, from a savage who avenged every death by killing, to a man who refused even to defend himself.

"I don't want to fight anymore," Tariri declared, as he set about making plans for a model village of peace and progress.

The Peruvian government has now established schools among the Candoshi-Shapra people. Shiniki Kas璥or? Tariri's brother, became a teacher, and his son also became a teacher. No more heads are being taken. The enemy groups have become their friends. The members of the rising generation of Shapras are becoming full-fledged citizens of Peru and citizens of Heaven.
