Limited VolunteerWhen the Gospel first came to the Hmar tribe in 1910, one of the first converts was a young man by the name of Chawnga (See Headhunters to Hearthunters). As more and more of the tribal people became Christians, he saw the need for the Scriptures in their native language. Chawnga prayed that someday he would have a son who would learn to read and write so that he could translate the Bible into the Hmar language.
Chawnga had four sons. One was named Rochunga. As Ro grew older, he knew that God wanted him to go to school. At ten years old, despite teasing from his friends, Ro became the first boy from his village to go to school. It was a long, dangerous ninety-six mile trip through a jungle of tigers, elephants, bears, and man-eating python snakes.
