This particular sermon serves a dual purpose as both a Sunday sermon offered at The Church at Ellerslie as well as an installment (the 13th) in Eric Ludy’s epic fall Daily Thunder series entitled, Daring to Do as Stanley Dale. This powerful series about the bold missionary ventures into Irian Jaya (Papua New Guinea) back in the mid-twentieth century and is sure to deeply stir those that listen. In this episode he explores the rough beginnings of the man, Stanley Albert Dale. And then he demonstrates how that very “roughness,” that nearly suffocated Stanley in his childhood, was the very same “roughness” that worked a very real wonder, glory, and awe forever in the hearts of the tribal inhabitants of the Dark Mountains of Irian Jaya in the 1960’s.
