FAQ #1
So...by far one of the most frequently asked questions is...something along the lines of, "Why are y'all going all the way over THERE, when there are so many people who need help over HERE?" Legitimate question, and one that we have wrestled with in previous years. No doubt, there is need here as well, and no doubt, some people are being called to those needs (maybe you?). However, we are being called to a specific people group...and it is unreached. That means that there are not enough people who know the Truth to reach themselves without help. To illustrate, even though there is need for help here, you would be hard pressed to find someone who does not pass at least one (and probably multiple) church(es) while going about their daily life. However, there, people die every day without even knowing anyone who knows the Truth. Also, in this people group, they live their lives in bondage to trying to appease gods that do not even exist...they need to know the Freedom that is theirs for the asking. Furthermore...we are EXCITED to be the ones called to this people group! What a privilege to be entrusted with such a mission...we truly cannot wait to witness what God has in store among the Balinese!
