About the Author

It was the ambition of Dennis Cochrane and his wife, Nancy, to spend their lives making the Good News of Christ known to people among whom Christ was completely unknown. That ambition led them to live, with their two young children, among the animistic Duna people of Papua New Guinea. Many Duna eventually put their faith in Christ and were set free from the constant fear of demonic powers that had previously enslaved them. When, for health reasons, the Cochranes were unable to continue living overseas, the Lord gave them a new ambition: to challenge the Lord’s people in America to become involved in bringing to completion the global mission of God. The Lord honored that ambition by giving Dennis the privilege of teaching numerous mission-mobilization classes nationwide—classes titled “Perspectives on the World Christian Movement.” Dennis was comforted with the realization that if he couldn’t personally take the Good News of Christ to an unreached people group, perhaps the Lord could use him to send others in his place.
