Missionary girl works among tribesmen in Laos near Vietminh lines
Dorothy Berndt, 25, of Santa Ana California, lives with a Swiss couple and Rosemary Foote with China Inland Mission in Tha kahong Laos near Kha villages. She speaks fluent Laotian, studies linguistics, and seeks to convert tribespeople away from animal sacrifice amid border tensions and Laotian army bases. Two brothers have joined the church, while altars and spirits are challenged by local witchdoctors.
