During World War II the Morses and a younger brother helped flyers who crashed while carrying supplies over the 'Hump'. After the war they returned to the United States to study and to marry, and then followed their parents as missionaries.The Morses were forced out of China by the Communists (their father was imprisoned for fifteen months) and settled in northern Burma in 1950. The families’ work continued with the Lisu and Rawang people in that area.In 1965, the families had to move to an area to the west of Putao. This book recounts events that were experienced during the six years in that area. They were forced to leave the country in 1972. The author's family and some of his children and other members of the larger family are continuing on in the work in Southeast Asia.Exodus to a Hidden Thriving in the Midst of a Jungle is the second volume in a three-book set that tells the compelling story of ministry and mission in Southeast Asia. Volume One is The Dogs May Bark but the Caravan Moves On by Gertrude Morse. Volume Three is Once I was A Missionary Wife’ Perspective by Helen M. Morse. This trilogy is being released in recognition of the 100-year anniversary of the beginning of it all in 1921.
This memoir investigates the challenges and endurance of a missionary family operating within the volatile political landscape of northern Burma during the mid-twentieth century. Eugene Morse, drawing upon his family's decades of service, documents the transition from their expulsion from China to their establishment of a mission among the Lisu and Rawang people. The narrative serves as a historical record of the logistical and spiritual obstacles faced by the family during their six-year tenure in the isolated region west of Putao.
