“I grew up hearing all these different stories. Little, here and there, scattered about. I tell you parts by parts I heard it. I thought I knew the God’s talk. I thought I had heard it all. But they were empty stories with no meaning. I would go to meeting from other missions but never, no not once did I ever get the truth that saves us from death and takes us to God’s side. Never! I tell you, none of us ever got the clear message of Jesus. It has always been clouded by other talk, doing good works and things. But never! I can never do anything good with this thinking of mine up here. It’s all bad. True that these white men came and gave us God’s true talk in our heart language and explained the meaning. They didn’t give meaningless stories.
Now I understand, now I believe, Jesus died for my sin payment. He is the only sacrifice I’ll ever need. Now I am in God’s family. That’s my talk today, that’s it.” (-Prisca-a tribal woman from Papua New Guinea)
It is awesome to see how people respond to the Gospel when it is taught clearly, God's word really does change lives. Someday we will all be joining Prisca to worship God together before His throne.
