MAITLAND, FL—Elke
Kummer’s new book, Adventures in the Rotor
Wind – From the Office to the Jungle ($20.99, paperback, 9781498497299; $9.99,
eBook, 9781498497305 ) teaches
readers that isolated people groups need to hear the gospel so they can choose
between living in spirit cults, which entail physical harm, constant fear,
tribal wars and retaliation and extremely high child mortality as a result.
Every Christian can be involved in bringing the gospel to unreached people, not
only typical missionaries and Bible scholars, but everybody, like accountants,
mechanics, teachers, and retired people. Prayer warriors and financial
supporters play an invaluable part in mission work too, and despite many difficulties, it’s a joy and a privilege to work on
the mission field.
Kummer says, “The plot of Adventures in the Rotor Wind – From the
Office to the Jungle is unusual. A regular office girl is thrust into an
overseas third-world setting and has to adjust to life in a place where even
shopping is an adventure. She experiences
flights over untamed mountain ranges to look for missing airplanes and meets a
Stone Age tribe. Insights into the life of people unreached by the gospel
remind us that the Great Commission is still unfinished. Descriptions of the
practicalities of cross-cultural life on the mission field will benefit other
people preparing for mission work as well as their sending churches in finding
ways to understand and support them.”
Elke Kummer writes about her
own adjustment to new cultures as well as other experiences, which included
learning about a wide range of topics from aviation, cross-cultural living,
world view issues, cooking with limited (or substituted) ingredients, off-road
driving, aviation (especially helicopter flying and maintenance), insights into
mission work and Bible translation. While describing her experience from a first-hand
perspective, she adds what she learned in hindsight after much research,
consulting with missionaries/Bible translators, aviation experts and missionary
member care experts.
