Living on the Devil's Doorstep by Floyd McClung

Moreover, the bottleneck of the Hippy Trail.įloyd watched the community around him falling quickly away from God: watching pornography, engaging in the sex industry, facing complete and utter loneliness, smuggling and theiving, scandalously dancing, getting addicted to drugs, kidnapping and raping, and even murdering. Eventually, Floyd found himself in Kabul, Afghanistan, also known as “the crossroads of Asia”. The Hippy Trail was a trail with easily accessible drugs, obvious sex industries, and a place for people to “find themselves” through the religions of Buddhism, Hinduism, and through religious gurus. As Floyd had been called to be a missionary, he specifically felt called to the Hippy Trail. Floyd’s family consisted of his wife, Sally, his daughter, Misha, and his son, Matthew.Īs Floyd was a missionary, he was surrounded by unending spiritual warfare and constant persecution: watching his children suffer by living in such a despicable place, waking up at 3 AM to the cries of prostitutes fighting their pimps, and facing the blatant disregard for the gospel that few wanted to hear. God called him and his family from India to Africa to Kabul to Amsterdam. Living on The Devil’s Doorstep is a book written by Floyd McClung describing his own life as a missionary.

Living on the Devil's Doorstep is a dramatic example of the difference one family can make when they are willing to trust GOd and walk in obedience to His call for their lives.

Whether among hippy seekers or the addicts and prostitutes of Amsterdam's infamous Red Light District, the McClungs lived out a message of hope. In Kabul, Afghanistan, a key stop on the hippy trail, and later in Amsterdam, Holland, the West's own window to that trail, the McClungs committed themselves to meeting the penniless, the drugged, the sick, and the disillusioned right where they were. When thousands of young people checked out of Western society and sought enlightenment in the East, Floyd and Sally McClung set aside the comforts of American suburbia and answered God's call to reach out to them with the gospel.
