Mission to the Headhunters
How God's Forgiveness Transformed Tribal Enemies
Frank Drown and Marie Drown
Suspicion, hatred and killing was what marked the Shuar and Atshuar Indians. The first missionaries in the Ecuadorian Rainforest Frank & Marie were committed to bringing about life changes in these tribes by seeking to communicate forgiveness of sin and new life which could be found in Christ. Frank and Marie Drown prepared the way for Jim Elliott, Nate Saint and their colleagues. Frank was the person who discovered their bodies.
Frank Drown
Frank and Marie Drown were missionaries in Ecuador for thirty-seven years. During that time they saw huge changes as they reached the Indians with the Gospel.

For young people, it is an inspiration to see how God takes people and leads them into paths they did not dream existed when they follow His call to service.
"What an incredible story of the Lord building His church... Don't miss reading about this challenge of the century!"
'This book is straightforward and beautifully written. It's a page-turner. I was staggered and rebuked, helped and cheered by the steadfast faithfulness of this humble (I'm sure they would say merely ordinary) couple. Read it!'
Elisabeth Elliot
Author of Through Gates of Splendor
'We don't often discover a book which is at the same time interesting, instructive and inspiring. They tell a very true and glorious story of God working through them and their co-workers to bless and lift a needy people. All of us may profit from reading this missionary epic.'
