Jim and Georgia Dearmore
-- are shown here in a photo taken IN CONGO 40 odd years
ago. Jim is dressed as a chief ("Mfumu") among the Bayaka tribes, and Georgia is dressed
as his "kaka mwadi" (means "head wife or No. 1 wife"). The large knife in its scabbard under Jim's right hand is the old Bayaka "head chopping knife" and is a gift from the King of the Bayakas, whose title is 'Kiamfu'. It is the symbol of Chieftainship, and only Chiefs are allowed to wear it. The big ceremonial knife is called 'Mbele Poko'. Will YOU pray and support this world wide gospel outreach ministry? Jim is available for special services from time to time. Rodgers Baptist Church Return To Mission Photos Index |
