Jim and Georgia Dearmore
-- are shown here in a photo taken IN CONGO 40 odd years ago. Jim is dressed as a chief ("Mfumu") among the Bayaka tribes, and Georgia is dressed
as his "kaka mwadi" (means "head wife or No. 1 wife"). And she was both! The large knife in its scabbard under Jim's right hand is the old Bayaka "head chopping knife" and is a gift from the King of the Bayakas, whose title is 'Kiamfu'. It is the symbol of Chieftainship, and only Chiefs are allowed to wear it. The big ceremonial knife is called 'Mbele Poko'. Over Two Million Hits Per Year On Our gospelweb, From 170+ Countries!
