"Landslide!" As young Lutheran missionary in Papua New Guinea, Jim Herzog encountered some things for which seminary did not adequately prepare him. One was the very real, dark power of the occult, and the other was amazing greater power of God. (I had an opportunity to interview Pastor Herzog, during which he told me this story. I recently shared the story in a sermon at Chist/Deaf. So at the request of the members, and with Pastor Herzog's permission, I have posted the story here. -- Pastor Ron.)
