When Davey Jank started a new life as a missionary among a remote tribe in the Amazon jungle, heentered a world most of us will never encounter: a world where witchcraft and shamanism are the trade of the powerful; where fear drives a timid and isolated society to acts of desperation and the brink of despair; where God's Word has not been heard.

Davey Jank is Canadian but was raised in the Amazonian jungle by missionary parents. After studying linguistics he responded to a request for help from the Wilo tribe. Marie hails from Miami. She worked in journalism and PR before pursuing a career in education. A short visit to the Amazon convinced her to enter missionary work full-time.Davey Jank is Canadian but was raised in the Amazonian jungle by missionary parents.
