What is faith continued


What should we do when we are confronted with other cultures?

First, we should observe the culture of people and respect it. The countries' or tribes culture is very precious and important for those people who respect the culture. Don Richardson first observed the culture of the Sawi and gradually, after the problems and conflict happened , he slowly taught some of the Sawi's culture and traditions were wrong, like giving the Peace Child, and as he introduced the story of Jesus and his sacrifice to save all people from sin. So if i were a missionary, i would first listen and observe if the culture of one's belief is good or bad, and fix some of the traditions by introducing the Christianity.
