Visible Fruit of Missionary Activity

Monday, February 21st, 2011

“Why would anyone be involved with missions?” I thought. “It’s really a useless activity, going to tribal people who don’t want to change their religion.” Sure, I knew we were commanded to go and make disciples everywhere. But my opinions about missions were sadly tainted by attitudes I’d picked up from the popular culture.

Mercifully, God changed my mind and my heart and drew me into missionary service. Had He not done that, this video would have challenged my old way of thinking. Watch as the Kimyal people of Papua, Indonesia joyfully receive a translation of the New Testament in their own language. These are clearly not people forced into conversion, or people who accepted Christianity for material gain.
