This book is the remarkable true story of a young doctor who spends his life among the Pygmies. In the 1960s, Jerry was in a state of rebellion. He joined the Weather Underground, and he protested the U.S. government. Later, Dr. Jerry joined the Peace Corps and went to the Congo. By then, he had given up on God, but God did not give up on him. After returning from the Congo, in the quiet of a church, God revealed Himself to Jerry. God had a plan and purpose for Jerry's life and used Jerry to demonstrate His love, peace, and hope to the poorest of the poor. Dr. Jerry dedicated his life to serving the Batwa Pygmies from a remote mission in the Congo rainforest. He faced many challenges from government officials, hostile soldiers, witch doctors, cultural beliefs, oppression, betrayal, and corruption. These unforgettable accounts detail the trials and hardships endured to improve the Pygmies' lives. Dr. Jerry trained "barefoot doctors" to treat patients in villages connected only by footpaths through the jungle. He worked tirelessly to build schools and boarding homes for the Batwa Pygmies, whom he described as the "poorest of the poor." Dr. Jerry was a teacher, doctor, mentor, and evangelist. Dr. Jerry promised his family that he would write a letter each week. He shared the "good, bad, and ugly" as Jerry wanted readers to know the successes and failures. This story details the Pygmies' way of life, culture, beliefs, and oppression by the Ekonda. You will be inspired by how one man changed the lives of thousands.
