New Brothers and Sisters!

We recently enjoyed this humorous (but true) list written by coworkers who recently taught through the Bible chronologically. What was really exciting to us was the fact that a number of people from this tribe BELIEVED as a result of hearing the teaching! THIS is the reason we're here, doing what we do day in and day out - supporting our coworkers living interior, serving with great personal sacrifice so that those people who have not heard about Christ's sacrifice on the cross have the opportunity to do so - and believe! We have new brothers and sisters - and are rejoicing with the angels in heaven!

“You Know You Are Preaching to the ____ People When…”

…you need a bow and arrow rack in the meeting place instead of a hat rack.

…you have to make an announcement that there will be no sorcery taking place during the meeting.

…in spite of your announcement, one of the men sit with a frying pan in front of his face the whole meeting to ward off sorcery.

…they ask if those are bamboo smoking pipes that the Israelites have in their mouths when marching around Jericho (ram's horns)

…they ask if they can have a sleep over in the meeting house and listen to recordings of the teaching all night.

…in a society where no one is the leader, even toddlers yell out before the meeting, 'Everyone sit down and be quiet!"

…one of your most prominent men, interrupts the meeting by asking all three of his wives if they have any mao bark for his beetle nut. It's just not gummy enough with out!

…our believers from the previous evangelistic outreach don't understand it's ok to laugh at funny illustrations from the teacher, and yell at the eager listening 'heathen', "Stop laughing! This is important talk! Satan is blinding your eyes!"

…you have to explain which one is Mary and which one is the angel in the picture.

…asked if even missionaries have sin, they respond confidently, "yep, your sin is disgusting as pig poop." Brutally honest.
