Description: "In 1946, the Johnson applied for foreign missionary service. A year later, they sailed, with their two small children, for Thailand. The account of their struggles to learn the difficult tonal inflections of the Siamese tongue, of their growing understanding and love of the culture and people of this exotic land, makes fascinating reading. The furlough back to the States, for which they would have qualified after five years of missionary service, never came. In 1952, Paul and Priscilla Johnson were murdered by bandits in the little village of Dong Mafai. Their memory lives on, however as an inspiration to Christian youth everywhere."
