Cross-cultural workers sometimes get confused about the
purpose of a bridge. Within the host culture or religion there are often
bridges that can be built in order to share the Gospel. Sometimes workers get
caught up in building the bridge. They become fond of the bridge. They spend a
lot of time on the bridge. They want to make the bridge stronger and more
attractive. While none of this activity is bad in itself, it becomes a problem
when the worker forgets the purpose of the bridge and never get around to
sharing the Gospel.
A bridge doesn’t have to be fancy or look pretty to achieve
its goal, which is to get to the other side!
Pray for workers
on Sumatra to use bridges for their intended purpose; to share the Gospel.
Pray for workers
to have wisdom to see new bridges without spending too much time on developing
the bridges.
Pray for the
peoples of Sumatra to cross over these cultural/religious bridges and reach the
intended destination of saving faith.
