Machetes are no longer the weapon of choice in Tribal Warfare in PNG. They much prefer the modern AK47. During a recent flare up resulting in massive fighting between large tribes the bullets were flying everywhere. During the massive battle that was actively in progress, 1000 Adventists looking at the situation were wondering what they could do about it. 1000 lay Adventists decided to risk life and limb and donned their Adventist uniforms and marched right into battle. But not to fight with AK47’s, they marked into the battle, to tell the warring tribes they should not be behaving in that way, and to stop fighting. Practically risking their lives to save the lives of others.
