Ba Chu Fu recounts his experience, saying:

“I was born in the mountainous region of Pingtung. Since my father was a chief of the Lukai tribe, people would bring gifts of food, so we did not have to do any heavy work. Because of this atmosphere, I developed a very haughty spirit. I became the ‘chief’ of a gang of young hoodlums, threatening people and extorting money from them. I was feared in my village. At the age of 22, I took one of my many girlfriends as a wife. But immoral living and heavy drinking were so deeply rooted in me that I found married life difficult to accept. Soon our marriage fell apart, and I returned to my old life-style.

“About this time, my wife started to attend the meetings of Jehovah’s Witnesses. I was not interested and considered myself an atheist. As a result of the sincere and zealous efforts of my wife, however, in 1973 I agreed to accompany her to an international convention in Taipei. We stayed with a Witness family. The Chinese sister’s kindness and unprejudiced manner made an indelible impression on me. Upon returning home, I started to study the Bible and made a sincere effort to change. I was baptized in 1974.

The Lukai and Paiwan tribes have also received a fine witness, and many among them have made major changes in their lives. Ba Chu Fu recounts his experience, saying:

“Since then, there have been many tests. One was to learn to read Chinese. Isolation was another. Because there were no mature brothers to associate with or to seek help from, I was encouraged to rely on Jehovah. I learned to be humble and to stick to Jehovah’s organization. The result? Today, all in my family are active in the truth. I have the privilege of being a ministerial servant in the congregation, which now has 60 zealous publishers. Even though I do not have any special talent, Jehovah has blessed and supported my efforts in the harvest work.”
