“Those primitive tribespeople, who had never heard of Jesus Christ and whose language did not even have a word for love, began gradually to understand and accept the message of God’s love, and salvation from sin through the Lord. Those who were converted showed their heathen neighbors what it meant to be a Christian. They learned to pray, to study God’s Word in their own language, to sing hymns, and to gather together as congregations according to the New Testament. Poor as they were, they learned to give whatever they could to further the spreading of the Gospel through native preachers and evangelists. What a thrill to hear the strains of “What a Friend We Have In Jesus” echoing in the canyons and mountains where formerly only Satan reigned.”
