Help is on the way


  • What do mission organisations do for these people?

Mission organizations and their missionaries mainly have the objective to spread the gospel to those who have not had the chance to be aware of the existence of God. Like Don Richardson, these missionaries are by and large sent to cultures that have not urbanized in an immense deal. These people not only help to establish God and his words but also aid the people with other aspects of life. Education is usually provided with the introduction of God and Christianity. However, it is not only the emphasis of God and the Christian beliefs, but also the connection and understanding of the people that the missionaries are sent to. Don Richardson had not tried to force the Sawi into Christianity. Instead, he viewed their culture and beliefs; rudimentary structures of their social order in order to further connect and be able to view perspectives of their ways. Then Don had a new attempt of preaching the word by acquiring knowledge of what is praised in the Sawi culture. Eventually, Don had found ways to appeal to the Sawi, different from modern cultures, and to find methods where the bible could be conveyed effectively. With the preaching of Gods words, the standards of living are also supported. Medical care, supplies of food, and equipment are on average introduced. With the main objective of spreading the gospel and Christianity, these organizations also help to secure the life and preservation of primitive cultures.
