In the early 1960s, Pastor Eliseo Cupertino and his family set out as missionaries to the Central African Republic and then to Cameroon. This book collects some key episodes from that journey and how, against a backdrop of animist religions and tribal superstitions, the couple succeeded in proclaiming the Gospel message. Ten years of intense activity, filled with adventurous experiences in a rather challenging environment, are not easily forgotten. An edifying read that helps us rediscover the many ways, both yesterday and today, the God of heaven is close to humanity.
