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.</font></p>

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.</font></p>

<p style="margin-top:0.01in;margin-bottom:0in"><font style="font-size:11pt" size="2">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.</font></p>

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.</font></p>

</p>
<p style="margin-top:0.01in;margin-bottom:0in"><font style="font-size:11pt" size="2">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!</font></p>

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.</font></p>

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.</font></p>

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.</font></p>

<p style="margin-top:0.01in;margin-bottom:0in"><font style="font-size:11pt" size="2">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.</font></p>

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</font></p>

<p style="margin-top:0.01in;margin-bottom:0in"><font style="font-size:11pt" size="2">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!”</font></p>
