 (*TWO ARE BETTER THAN ONE” MINISTRIES*

*“THE BORDER CROSSING SACRIFICE”*


 Watkin Roberts of Wales was saved in the 1904 Welsh Revival. God called
him to N.E. India in 1910, but it had been closed since 1870, when Rochunga
Pudaite’s grandfather took 600 British heads in one day.


 Watkin Roberts went to Imphal to speak to the Maharaja of Manipur, when
Ro’s grandfather invited him to Senvon village in Assam. This was in reply
to Watkin’s gift of the Gospel of John to each of the 300 tribal leaders of
N. E. India.


 The Maharaja reminded Mr. Roberts of the 40 year closure. Roberts asked if
he signed a document declaring the Maharaja not guilty if he lost his head,
could he go in anyway. He was granted 10 days.


 In those 10 days, 5 young men from this head-hunting tribe received God in
Jesus. It was the illustration of “The Border Crossing Sacrifice” that
melted their hearts.


 Roberts recounted to the people of Senvon Village how the tribes of this
area of India made peace when they were tired of taking heads. One chief
gave a signal, and if the other tribe was open, they met at the border and
killed a sacrifice. The chiefs then reached down and smeared one another
with the blood of the animal. They then each cut a finger, dripped the
blood in a common container of wine, and both drank it. They took an oath
in the presence of their elders, that if either chief broke the covenant of
the Border Crossing Sacrifice, his elders would cut him in two at the
border!


 The son of the Senvon village chieftain was one of the 5 who saw that God
sacrificed HIS ONLY SON at the border, and is offering to receive any human
being who meets Him over the blood of His Son.


 Since 1910, 85 % of the Hmar tribe of Assam of some 80,000 people are born
again Christians, have reached 15 other tribes, and planted churches in
Nepal, Bhutan and Tibet. Rochunga, the grandson, has translated the entire
Bible into the Hmar tongue plus a hymn book of 400 hymns. He has planted
over 60 elementary schools for his tribe, 3 Jr. High Schools, a Senior High
School, a College and a hospital – all for his Hmar people.


 Dr. Bob Pierce of World Vision said it is the most remarkable story of
regional evangelism he has ever come across. He visited these people
several times. There are 5 states in N. E. India including Nagaland – and
Watkin Roberts through Chawnga Pudaite, Ro’s father, has had a significant
part in bringing the Gospel to this area in 1910.


 Marie and I met Watkin Roberts in Chicago in 1955 at an NAE Convention. He
later contacted us from Toronto and asked us if we could give every
courtesy and help to Rochunga who was working on his Master’s degree at
Wheaton College. I served as Ro’s American secretary for 17 years for the
Indo-Burma Pioneer Mission, and we were grateful to have a part both in
time, prayer and finances to help Ro in his rather remarkable ministry.


 E. W. Kenyon’s book “The Blood Covenant” is quite parallel to “The Border
Crossing Sacrifice”, which was commonly practiced in the 5 provinces of N.
E. India


 Literally hundreds of thousands have come to Christ through “The Blood
Covenant” and “The Border Crossing Sacrifice.” It broke the heart of the
people of Assam when they realized God had voluntarily in love given His
ONLY begotten Son to save us, reconcile us, and that God forgave our sins
on the basis of His Son’s Atoning work on our behalf – “THE BORDER CROSSING
SACRIFICE!”
