- The Sawi were headhunters and cannibals when a young couple named Don and Carol Richardson arrived in their village carrying their seven-month-old boy Steve-and a message that would change the tribe forever. Fifty years later, Steve joins his father, Don, and two brothers, Shannon and Paul, to visit the Sawi village where they grew up.

This was the trip of a lifetime for Dad, my brothers, and me. I'm so glad we invited a videographer along to document the trip. Imagine if we hadn't - others would never have had the opportunity to share vicariously in our experience. My favorite parts were paddling the canoe, talking to the enthusiastic old "Isaac" from a distant jungle village, and encountering "Moses" on the bridge. I'm so glad the videographer happened to be there to capture these brief conversations. Our family loves the Sawi, their neighboring tribes with whom they used to wage constant war, and the people of Indonesia as a whole. I've given half my life to Indonesia and my brothers and their families still live there (though hundreds of miles from where the Sawi live). I hope this short video inspires and encourages everyone!
I came across this video from a friend. I thanked God for sending your family in the middle of jungle in Indonesia to make a huge impact for the Sawi people. Seeing this video proving His power to reach the unreachable. Terimakasih banyakkkk the Richardsons :D.
for victoria and steve, GOD BLASS U AND UR FAMILY ! greetings from romania
Thank you SO much Steve for sharing this video. It has really blessed me this evening. To God be the glory!
+Steve Richardson Sir... I'm an Indonesian...born in Papua... I really thank God for sending your Dad, Mr. Richardson, and his family to Papua... what your Dad has done in Papua is something really priceless... there's no words can describe it... God will always bless you and your big family forever...
Thank you so much for sharing this video! God bless you! :) Greetings from the Philippines :D
This is my grandparents' story, and my Dad is narrating!!
Very cool, I met your grandfather when I was young, getting ready to leave for Japan as a missionary. We are still here in Japan 35 years later. One life inspires the next to do the impossible. blessings warren
so grateful that they visited my country! It is now the most concentrated area with Christianity in Indonesia. Praise God for your grandparents for responding to His call to go on this incredible mission! God bless the Richardsons!
I like to add Arabic subtitle choose on it, Can I?
Dear Victoria,
I am from India.I read this book when I was a teenager and it touched my heart in a very powerful way.I can say that it was instrumental in helping me appreciate the power of the gospel in a way I had not understood before.The part where the tribe people hail Judas Iscariot as the hero stunned me.And then how through the persistence of your grandparents,the Lord led them to a key to sharing the gospel in all that spiritual darkness is sooo amazing!
The gospel is powerful and no people or country is beyond its reach.
Praise God for your grandparents and thank you all for the testimony that has encouraged and touched many more lives around the globe. 🙏🙏
Really amazing, challenging , and encouraging life story.
I'm an Indonesian... born in Papua... I'm just... speechless... this is awesome... really...really..really awesome... I'm just crying in my heart while watching this.... thanks God for sending your servant Mr. Richardson and his family... please bless them forever...
My dear brother in our LORD JESUS CHRIST, just like you in the past 2 hours I shed so many tears of happiness constantly thanking HIM for HIS word among your ancestors. I live in Germany among heathens on a socalled "higher cultural level", but this work here is nowadays much harder than ever before!
Therefore, pls. pray for this country, which is again led by the highest evil powers in this world to a center of unbelieve and witchcraft by the modern media!!
Our LORD JESUS is coming pretty soon and I am consoled and re-energized to continue and look forward to meeting our LORD JESUS from face to face in HIS heavenly realm and also to meet all brethren from around the world with HIM!
Glory and thanks therefore be only to our LORD JESUS and through HIM to our GOD and FATHER in Heaven!
With outmostly brotherly blessings
from your German Brother Henning Beinsen

I cried the entire video from joy and happiness.
Amen to your beautiful prayer.
This video makes me so happy deep inside!
About forty years ago I went to a church that played the original movie"The Peace Child" that night for the first time I understood the Gospel and gave my life to the Lord. I have never been the same. Thank You Don Richardson and family.
this is my father，may Dad, istories to my country ,Dhon Richarson To Sawy people and chilrend nem Jhoanes Many Kwaito 50years , I am Jhoanes son thank you Yesus For Beeble thank you Fhathers Dhon Richarson To Ny Chero Richarson 🙏
Here i am Lord send me.. Don Richardson book change my life.. Im a pastor now.. I give my live to serve God after i read his book...
How could people resent this? These tribes were headhunters and cannibals at war with one another, and now they are getting baptized in multitudes. What have they actually lost by giving up those old ways? How much have they truly gained? I thank God for people like this.
I serve as a missionary on the other side of Papua in Papua New Guinea as a missionary. I came as a child 49 years ago and have been a missionary for 32 years and just this year my son returned with us. This story is reall and it has been repeated. I have know the original story for decades but to see GOD IS FAITHFUL years later TO GOD BE THE GLORY!
Thanks for sharing your story!
Don and Carol represent the missionaries that are front line to pioneer in primitive and sometimes dangerous places. Peace Child is not just a story of how God provided a breakthrough in this circumstance but is a illustration of how God's love reached out to sinful mankind to draw him to Himself. Don is a very good writer in addition to being an outstanding missionary.

Please tell them that this video made me see how useless my life is and how desperate my soul is to surrender myself just as your grandfather did. It is really inspiring!
Beautiful people worshipping a Beautiful Saviour! Thank You God for giving us the PEACE CHILD , our SAVIOUR JESUS CHRIST!
When I read Peace Child, God aroused in me the desire to serve Him in His work to proclaim the gospel to orphans in Haiti.
This was 10 years ago. this year, God is making it possible and I am blessed with His provision and training.
May God bless all who's heart is being touched by this video.
Lovely testimony. Are you in Haiti now. How are you getting on. May the Lord bless and protect you in the name of Jesus Christ amen 🙏🏾
I think what you and your parents did was great, but all my life I've felt called to the United States, but not as a pastor. All I know is my country is filled with darkness, many of our leaders have actively turned their backs on God and the people follow them. I'm not quite a voice crying in the wilderness, but my mission field is here. On the other hand I have brothers across the United States as well as in India, Pakistan, and Uganda. In a chat with a brother from Uganda I believe the Holy Spirit filled my mouth with His words to make bricks and not worry about the monsoons so much. He said he rents the land. So I asked him if the land owner lived in a mud hut. A couple of weeks later he told me the land owner would let him lay up to 25,000 bricks. Pray for Brother Peter. This may open a new door to preach the Gospel.
RIP DON RICHARDSON
,thank you for this very valuable story sir pastor, I am proud and very grateful because I accepted JESUS as the savior for my life, God bless us all
Greetings from WEST PAPUA ️✡️✡️✡️
What an awesome story. How brave your parents must have been to put all their trust in the Lord and go out and spread the gospel. My ancestors were methodist preachers who came to Canada when there was nothing but bush. They helped build roads and preached the gospel to the indigenous people. They were even gifted a war club from a chief who became a preacher himself, and once baptized, gave up his fighting ways.
It's so crazy to think what those days must have been like.❤
Beautiful story of the joy, hope and peace the gospel brings to warring tribes!
Thank you Jesus for the Richardson's and their love for you Lord and your people. What a family.
I'm 20 yrs old and now in 2021, I just recently finished reading Don Richardson's book of Peace Child, and I never cried so much about missions until I read this book. My heart for missions has never been ignited before, so I earnestly pray to God that one day I will also come and visit the Sawi tribe when i become a registered nurse. God bless Richardon family🥰 you are reaching also younger future missionaries due to your humble obedience to the Lord.
Thanks for sharing!
My soul and my heart cry from inside....How amazing ..... Pastor Richardson sacrifice his life and family for the Papua people.
Thank you...thank you.....thank you......
Watching and weeping with joy...ALL GLORY TO GOD...HALLELUJAH
Wow! Wow! Wow! What an incredible blessing to watch this. Even if I only came across it in 2022. We had the privilege of hosting Don Richardson as the main speaker for our Missions conference, at our local church in Vanderbijlpark , South Africa, round about 25 years ago.
What a blessing! My husband and I were so struck by his humbleness and sincerity! I also remember how proud and grateful he was that all his children also loved the Lord. Looking at this short film I am again struck by a FAMILY serving faithfully and even able to still speak the language so many years later. I wondered if the actual infants that were exchanged as the peace child(ren) were still alive today?
Thank you só much for sharing this!!
Thanks for sharing!
It is cool to see the work of God's Missionaries paying off. It's a story not told enough.
hallelujah. hallelujah. its such a blessing to see the Lord using His children to fulfill the Great Commission.
My American sweet Mama-san sent me this TH-cam about 7 years ago, and I happened to see again. This is so beautiful. Mama-san had been missionaries in Japan for many years, and went back to her country about 20 years ago. She did the same great work here in Japan, and I am really appreciated that she taught me about Jesus. She also showed me it is very important to read Bible every day, which I do now. If I did not meet Mama-san, I am not here now. She left God's great love in my heart, but I have not been with God for many years and almost forgot about him, but in my heart somewhere he has been. Even after so many years, he just comes back to my life. Mama-san had been encouraging me even I was away from Jesus, but her love never fade and always be my Mama-san. She actually have 8 beautiful sons and daughters who was born and raised in Japan. But she cared about me also. When I saw this video, I think about Mama-san and her own kids and what they think about their childhoods in Japan. Papa-san was gone several years ago, and I miss him, too. Thank you, Jesus. Thank you our heavenly father, I pray for all missionaries who work for God all over the world in his name. Amen.
Thanks for sharing! God is doing great work in Japan as well! Check out how Pioneers teams are working in Japan here: th-cam.com/video/LredIcubo68/w-d-xo.html
@@pioneersusa Thank you very much, and please pray for Japan, so more people will get to know our Lord Jesus! We need more workers here!
Just finished reading your book, "Is the Commission still Great? which lead me to this video. First, like so many others I read your father's books years okay while my wife and I attended, what was then called, New Tribes Bible Institute in Waukesha, WI. They left a huge impression on me especially Eternity In Their Hearts and Peace Child. I've recommended them to many through the years and passed out a few as well. Second, I'm so thankful for your families commitment to the Lord Jesus Christ and the preaching of His Gospel to the ends of the earth a big encouragement to my heart this day. Finally your book, Steve, which was given to me by a another faithful servant of the Lord as yourself, has reset my heart and mind to understand better that the global and local mandates are not in competition buy compliment each other. My heart was renewed this week to speak the Word of the Lord more courageously, Thanks be to God for your encouragement to the Body of Christ!
We are so glad that Steve's book has been uplifting for you! We will be sure to pass your message along to him. If you know anyone else who would benefit from the book, we have several resources, including a smallgroup study guide for anyone who wants to walk through the book in a community setting. Here is a link where you can access that: books.pioneers.org/
Thank you for your comment!
@@pioneersusa thank you
So touching and inspiring, The entrance of God's word brings light.
God must of shed tears of joy and the angels must of sung a mighty song at what occurred in these villages. They were so brave initially going there and with a small baby, God gives courage to the brave. This has touched my heart.
I read this book when I was a young teen. How incredible to celebrate God's faithfulness 50 years later!
The beautiful, beautiful love and power of God and of those who answer the call.
YES! This is the power of the Gospel. The power of our Creator, our lord Jesus Christ. His gospel goes beyond cultures, beyond race, beyond human weakness and frailty. God changes hearts, he makes weak men to be bold lions in the face of adversity, allowing peace to reign.
I busted into tears in the beginning when the correlation between these infant children being used as peace offerings became the conduit to share the gospel, to be the conduit of grace that God used for his missionaries to speak the truth.
I notice how it isn't about you guys. It's about what Christ has done through you and your family. The work that was done was incredibly instrumental to help lay the foundation for these people to continue the work. Your parents made disciples, who in turn made disciples, and so on. That is the definition of the great commission.
Nay sayers often think westerners go out to spread western thought. This is not the case with true believers who hear and heed the call to go into the ends of the earth to share the gospel. PRAISE GOD!
Hallelujah!!!! I cried too.
Victoria, you must be so proud of your Grandfather and Grandmother! I have read all of Don's books and from time to time check to see if he has written any more. He has challenged and helped shape my zeal and love for the Gospel and I will forever be grateful. I wept when your Dad translated the words of the man on the bridge. What a testimony of the power of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. He is a Strange, Magnificent and Wonderful God!
Amen!!!!!
Made me cry. I so love these people, Papua and its people. The land of my heart and soul.
I so wish that the whole of Papua could have peace and independence.
Papua merdeka ✊🏽
Indonesian government and business...let these people go.
Yesus, let the people have their independence, free them from tyrany 🙏🏼 Enough is enough.
So awesome, the Lord protected, you and you were able to lead many to Christ.
Amazing. A true miracle. Praise God for what He has done. May Christ continue to protect and work in the lives of these precious souls.
Amen!
This is incredible.
A wonderful example of the redemptive power of the Gospel to transform people's lives and destiny!
Thank you for your family.

One of the best videos I have ever watched. What a meaningful life Don Richardson lived.
I read Peace Child as a senior in high school and just finished reading it for the 2nd time this eve, 28 years later. I had to see if I could find out any updates since it was written and am very blessed to have just watched this video although now 10 years old itself. What an amazing story and the Richardsons are such an inspirational testimony of faithfulness to God and complete trust in Him.
Amazing Story. Thankyou to Don Richardson and Wife Carol RIP. God bless you with a long life Don and sons for your sacrifice of love. It so has touched my heart as I serve here in the ME.
I started reading Peace Child last night and I was captivated by the realness of the situation. Although it was gruesome in detail, I'm sure the blood sacrifice of Yae lead to hope of tribal unity.
Just beautiful, with the touch of Our Lord Jesus Christ!
🙏🏻🤍🕊
I’ve just found out this documentary!
Thanks for watching! Please feel free to share it!

Beautiful!! I’m in tears
Joel 2:12-13
Yet even now,” declares the Lord,
“return to me with all your heart,
with fasting, with weeping, and with mourning;🙏
and rend your hearts and not your garments.”
Return to the Lord your God,
for he is gracious and merciful,
slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love;🤍
and he relents over disaster.
It's also really instresting the cutlery and crockery. There is a lot of progress since 1960's
I'm reading "Peace Child", or rather listening to it on audible, and started doing a little background and found this! Cheers!
Wow praise be to God 🙏

Saya bersyukur bertemu seorang yang mencintai Tuhan bersama anak-anaknya ketika perayaan 50 tahun Injil bagi suku Sawi.
Pengalaman yang berharga ketika melayani di tempat Injil di tabur dengan kasih.
😭
Wow...the Sawi's language is similar to the Malay language - Bahasa Melayu....
They were speaking to me in Bahasa Indonesia because after all these years I spoke it more fluently, and most of the Sawi have learned Indonesian well. That’s why you could understand it!
Pastor Donrichardson attended the 50th anniversary of the gospel in the Sawi tribe.
activities in 2012.
the story of the peace child of the sawi tribe is my father's name is mani. dad lived until 2020 this is life.
