Our goal as missionaries is and will always be to train
Tongas to reach Tongas. It is
them, not the white missionaries, who best understand the culture, the
struggles and mindset of the people.
And it is them who can best contextualize the gospel so that it is
relevant to the people, but still true to its very foundations.
A few weeks ago, we realized a bit of this goal, as three of
our guys led a majority of a field day for Foundations for Faming in
Mazabuka. It was awesome to see
them not only teaching technique, but addressing the heart issues of their
brothers and sisters. Terren,
Lloyd and Movety each brought something different to the table that day, and
each did a magnificent job.
Hopefully, we’ll be able to hand this ministry off to them
and other guys like them to run with in the future!
