What’s the weather like where you are?
Thank you for praying for our trip back to the village!
“Unripe Ones – From Fear to Faith” Part 1
The Higaunon believers have some things they want to share with you. "Unripe Ones - Part one" is what they believed before they came to Christ - what those outside of Christ STILL believe. As you read these cultural insights, please pray that many more Higaunon will come to a saving knowledge of Christ.
“Unripe Ones – From Fear to Faith” Part 2
Part 2 of what the Higaunon wish to share with you sheds some more light on their culture outside of Christ. Those who say, "Leave them alone, they're happy the way they are" have not lived amongst them. If they had, they would realize that they were not a very happy people.
“Unripe Ones – From Fear to Faith” Part 3
Just when you thought it couldn't get any worse for the Higaunon, their account of life outside of Christ saddens us even more. Part 3 is about sickness and taboos regarding child birth. Were they happy outside of Christ? What do you think?
“Unripe Ones – From Fear To Faith” Part 4
In part 4 of "From Fear to Faith" Grandma shares about when the missionaries first lived among them. How fearful they were!! A lot has changed down through the years. A lot to praise the Lord for!
“Unripe Ones – From Fear to Faith” Part 5
In this next part we begin to see a bit of hope as the tribal people respond to the Truth. Mahn-peel-yoo-nun shares about when they first heard teaching from God's Word. It had such an impact on their lives that they KNEW it must be true.
“Unripe Ones – From Fear to Faith” Part 6
Naha tells of their happiness when they understood the precious message of Christ and wonders at the depth of the darkness they lived in before they knew the truth.
