What’s dedication look like to you?
Got a picture in mind yet?
Now compare that with this Bible teacher from the Abau tribe in Papua New Guinea, who teaches in a neighboring village each week. Here’s what he said:
“Every Wednesday I leave our village and go to this other village to share God’s talk to them.
“The walk is not an easy walk. It is a six-hour hike. Sometimes if I go with my family, it’s even longer.
“Sometimes when I go, I don’t have any food. I don’t when I will get to eat. I get very hungry during the hike. But I remember Jesus tells us not to worry about our life, what we will drink and eat.
“There are other things I can do around the village, like hunting, gathering food or just sitting around. But those things ‘belong to the ground.’ Telling others about God’s talk is God’s work. I know God wants me to go. God wants me to tell them about His talk. So I just keep on going and trust in God. The people there need to hear God’s talk.”
