Missionary Elinor Young.
45

• God's Secret Weapon September, 1994
• "Na'e Yan Meeli, na'e Yan Meeli Gel." It seemed
  everyone was going out of their way to greet me
  with this new name, looking so pleased when they
  used it. "Hello, Bad Legs. Hello, Bad Legs
  Woman."
• Polio at age five had left me with an abnormal
  gait.

• "But what," I pondered "is the real significance
  of my new name?"
• The Kimyals are a tribe of about 8000 people
  tucked in the high interior mountains of Irian
  Jaya, Indonesia (the Indonesian half of New
  Guinea). They live in tiny round huts in tightly
  packed villages. Theirs is a face-to-face culture
  with a face-to-face attitude. You always know
  exactly where you stand with them. Though short
  fused, cruel, and fierce at times, mostly they
  are friendly, animated, delightful people. They
  need little excuse to turn routine into an event
  of significance to relish.

48

• Siud chose my "welcome back" feast to announce my
  new name. Having lived among the Kimyals for
  several years, I had recently returned from a
  break in the U.S. to spend several more years at
  Korupun.
• One day I found my chance to ask Siud, "My legs
  are bad for sure, but what is the source-thought
  of naming me 'Bad Legs'?"

49

• "Your bad legs are important to us. In our
  villages people with bad legs can't get out of
  this valley. But even with your bad legs God
  brought you all the way here to give us God's
  Word. People with god legs have come and not
  stayed. Yet you Bad Legs, God has helped you stay
  with us. He did all this because He loves us."
• Bad Legs. What a great name!
• All those people who had told me that becoming a
  missionary was an impossible goal didn't
  understand. My bad legs aren't a hindrance, they
  are a tool.

50

• At Korupun, they were God's tool demonstrating to
  the Kimyals how very, very much He loved them.
• "Before I was born the Lord called me from my
  birth he has made mention of my name. He made my
  mouth like a sharpened sword, in the shadow of
  his hand he hid me he made me into a polished
  arrow and concealed me in his quiver. He said to
  me, 'You are my servant, . . . in whom I will
  display my splendour" (Isaiah 491-3).
• Though Post-Polio Syndrome finally forced me to
  leave my special people, my weak body remains a
  clever disguise
• God's tool. His secret weapon.
