Kaulongs expand the reach of the Gospel

Did you hear about that fast-food spending study? Visa this week said people who pay by credit card spend on average 30 percent more.

We really are a consumer culture, aren’t we? It pervades American culture, and unfortunately it seeps into American churches, too. I think that’s why a Kaulong Bible teachers’ recent words are so striking.

In Papua New Guinea, an elderly Kaulong man traveled a long distance with a simple request. He came to emphasize what he had already shared in a letter: how much the people of his village wanted someone to come and teach them God’s Word.

But one of the Bible teachers asked, "If the teaching comes to you, then will it just stop there?”

He went on to explain, "God does not save us just to sit. He wants us … to take His Talk to others that don’t know about Him. So if you want to hear the teaching about the way of salvation that God has made for all of us, then you need to know that it can’t stop there."

The Kaulong believers are demonstrating that. Last month they presented the Gospel in one village, and this week are to complete evangelistic Bible lessons in another village, presenting the death, burial and resurrection of Christ.

That’s a striking contrast with much of what goes on in some American churches.

And that’s why I appreciate you and your interest in our ministry so much, and why we value your involvement in taking God’s Talk to others who don’t know about Him.
