India: Muddy stop and Gospel tract



The group of missionaries I was with were travelling in a bus going from one village to another. They had no intention of stopping here. It was raining and they knew no one. Yet, the leader said he felt compelled to stop. They set up their loud speaker. One of the group spoke for 10 minutes about who Jesus is. It continued to rain; they handed out tracts with their message written in the local dialect. We left.

Did the little girl understand the brief message? Can she even read the tract in her hand? All I know is that the missionaries did what they thought they were being led to do. My wife once accepted a tract while she was in college. She kept it even though she didn't understand it. Years later it helped her understand the simple message of grace that Jesus preached.

The mission group I was with was Gospel for Asia.
