. This particular broadcast features special guests foreign missionary David Sitton & missions sponsor Pastor Jackson Boyett. On October 3, 1977 David Sitton left for the first time as a missionary to Papua New Guinea. He was twenty years old; lean and green and ready to tackle the world for Christ. He boarded an airplane alone in Corpus Christi, TX around 11:00 AM & headed for New Guinea via Honolulu, Hong Kong and Bangkok. He was inexperienced, under-trained, under-financed and totally determined; a dangerous combination. But David did have a Bible and a surfboard...and not a worry in the world. Family and friends gathered at the airport terminal. There was much hugging and weeping as they figured David would be eaten by cannibals before his first two year mission was completed (and it nearly happened)! Several elders from David's sending church huddled together whispering among themselves about how they didn't think that young kid would actually leave without enough money. One of them said years later that they thought he was completely crazy, but they couldn't be left responsible for David's starving to death in the jungle! Right there on the spot, they gathered the remaining monthly support that was needed. My old mentor used to say -- "Look at the sparrows, missionary! When God quits feeding the sparrows, missionaries will become extinct." Well, the birds are still eating. David Sitton has since travelled to remote & inaccessible regions of Papua New Guinea (particularly among the Menyamya tribesman who are warlike & in some cases still engage in cannibalism) more times than can be counted.
