While rooted in pre-1950s African colonial history, this book is relevant to current efforts to reach today’s 3,000 UUPGs by pointing out the difficult process of engaging the last of the lost. Imposing challenges such as intractable geopolitical frontiers, natural barriers (rivers, mountains and forests), multiple tribal languages and fierce religious opposition faced by those seeking to penetrate the borders of French West Africa. These are all part of the story of a region with thriving evangelical churches now engaged in cross-cultural initiatives across Africa and the world.
