"Pray too that the unreached Aucas, who twice in the last two months have come out of the forest and spear-killed on their borders, that they may hear of Him."

Prayer letter. Yellow-colored paper, 8-1/2" x 11", printed. October 1955. Prayer letter sent by Rachel Saint, a translator with Wycliffe Bible Translators, to her supporters in the United States, describing the life of Dayuma up to the end of 1955, including her flight from her own tribe and the development of her friendship with Saint. She also described what she (Saint) had learned about the culture of the Waorani (who she called Aucas). This letter was written without any knowledge of the contact that her brother and others were on the verge of initiating with the Waorani. From BGC Archives, Collection 136, Box 60, Folder 27.
