What the Witch Doctor Taught Me
- Elaine Masters


Suddenly, I heard rifle fire. Time and time again. I was sure we were going to be killed and no one would ever find our bodies because no one knew where we were. I struggled to control my breathing.How in the world did I get myself into this predicament? What was I doing up here? It was 1978, and American missionary Elaine Olelo Masters had just embarked on the first of many short-term trips to the jungles of Thailand. With political unrest, language barriers, and cultural disparities, she had much to overcome while sharing the love of Christ in remote tribes.Unexpected beauty and darkness appeared around every turn. Behind the brilliant flowers, grand mountain vistas, and dazzling Buddhist temples lay spiritual darkness, ethnic prejudice, and even demonic influence.Spanning more than thirty years, Elaine's ministry to the tribal people in Thailand provided abundant examples of the power and goodness of God. Exciting tales of witchdoctors, exorcisms, evangelism, and miracles ensure that Elaine's stories in What The Witch Doctor Taught Me will captivate readers of all ages.
