{"product_id":"2940014328364","title":"Stronger than the Strong","description":"The moving story of Jim and Louise Morris and their years of labor among the Pwo Karen people of Thailand. When would God fulfill His promise to release these people from bondage?\u003cbr\u003eFor centuries Satan, “Mangkholai,” has been a tyrant who has ruled viciously over the Pwo Karen. The Pwo have lived in fear—fear of spirits, fear of sickness, fear of crop failure, fear of death, fear of outsiders, fear of curses, and fear of fear. Faith in Jesus brought them a freedom like nothing else has. Stronger than the Strong is the story of how the Pwo Karen (po-ka-`ren) people of northern Thailand were reached with the gospel. It is not the whole story, but the breakthrough and beginning of an indigenous, biblical church movement. It took time for God to demonstrate His power over demonic forces, and for a people movement to Christ to develop. It took time for us to get to know the Pwo Karen and for them to get to know us and begin to trust in God, not man, medicine, magic or religion. The Pwo Karen are a small part of the larger ethnic group known as Karen. About 2,600,000 Karen live in Myanmar (Burma) and 380,000 Karen live in Thailand. The two largest groups of Karen are the Sgaw (sa-`gaw) and the Pwo (po). Sgaw Karen have responded to the gospel in large numbers, but the Pwo have proved more resistant. Stronger than the Strong tells how Jesus overcame Satan and spirits. Demonic forces dominate the daily lives of the Pwo Karen. Over the years Jesus proved to be more powerful than the spirits, and able to set the Pwo Karen free from bondage and fear. The promise of Hebrews 2:14,15 became true for many Pwo Karen believers: “Since the children have flesh and blood, he, too, shared in their humanity so that by his death he might destroy him who holds the power of death—that is, the devil—and free those who all their lives were held in slavery by their fear of death.” It was worth years of waiting for God to set free the captives of the tyrant. Jesus is truly stronger than the strong.
