Books: Rebekah's Diary

Witness one girl's account of how she shared her faith at the ends of the earth. Rebekah Pearl, daughter of Michael and Debi Pearl, tells the awesome story of God's guidance and protection as she, a 22-year-old girl, all alone, travels to where no white person had ever been, adapted to a primitive culture.

Excerpt from the Introduction

Rebekah is the oldest child of Michael and Debi Pearl. She grew up seeing the power of God at work transforming the lives of broken sinners. At seventeen, having never been away from home, she boarded a plan with several other young people and went to South America where she witnessed the power of God in the lives of primitive tribal people. She was never the same. The following year, she traveled to Papua New Guinea and after 8 weeks, came home with a heaven born vision. She would go to linguistic school and learn to translate Scripture in the language of a primitive tribe. After 3 years of preparation and lots of prayer, she boarded a plan for the Madang region of Papua New Guinea. She was sent out by her local church and her 18 year old brother, Gabriel, went along as her “protector.” During their 4 week trip, God led them to the Kumboi people. They returned to the US so she could get an extended visa and make preparations for residency in PNG. She soon returned to the Kumboi. This time, her brother Nathan (17) went along as her assistant. After 3 months, he came home, leaving her alone on top of a mountain among tribal people where no white person had ever been. For the first few months, she had no communication with the outside world since the only way out of the village is a 6 hour hike to and from the primitive bush air strip. This is her diary, as she wrote it, from the heights and depths of service to God.
