God saved Margaret when she was 11 years old, and she dedicated her life to be a missionary when she was 12. In July 1964, she went to her cannibalistic mission field, which at that time had become a part of Indonesia – now Irian Jaya or West Papua, Indonesia. For 40 years and three months, God gave Margaret the privilege of working in the Citak tribe on the southern coast of Irian Jaya.
