We trust you because you’re one of us. We speak the same language. We can talk face-to-face. No visa needed. ST OP And no one’s paying you to do this. And this is how those barriers disappear when national Christian leaders, trained by Haggai Institute, evangelize their own people. Against all this difficulty and expense, Haggai Institute’s method is able to open the road simply by selecting as evangelists the men and women best placed to do it. They don’t need visas. They speak the language and know the culture. And after their initial training, they, and those they go on to train, don’t cost Haggai Institute donors another penny. The “unreached” are unreached because conventional methods can’t cross the barriers. Haggai Institute leaders can cross the barriers – and do. Writer: John Bachman, Chief Global Information Officer 9
