Neglect One, Neglect the Other

Abstract

A missionary shared the following testimony in his newsletter: Dear Friends and Supporters,   A well known witchdoctor becomes a follower of Jesus!   What an amazing transformation! He was what some call a witchdoctor or sorcerer. The rich and poor, the educated and uneducated sought his services because he was possessed by some great spirit. People would travel from all over the country to experience his magic, hoping it would better their weary lives. The rich paid him handsomely, and the poor sold their only chicken to solicit his help. But then he heard the good news of Jesus Christ from our team! He was baptized with others in his community. He wanted to be with us everywhere we went. This is why we do what we do!   Sincerely, Your Missionaries to the Middle East At the very point the recipients of the newsletter were opening their envelopes, the witch-­‐doctor-­‐turned-­‐Christian was being kicked off the team and out of ministry.
