As the missionaries stepped off the helicopter to the staring eyes and excited chatter of the tribal people, they thought to themselves, this task is too big. How are we ever going to learn their language, create an alphabet, teach them to read and write in their own language, develop lessons and teach them (in their heart language) through the Bible chronologically, disciple new believers, help establish a tribal church that is run by them, help them reach maturity where they are reaching out missionally to their neighbors, then slowly pulling out so the church can stand on its own...? Where do we even begin?
