Anyway, interestingly enough, in the forties when she first went over there, her first missionary journey into the bush (walking for days and days), she went with Assembly of God missionaries who were stationed near her. She was sent by a Oneness Pentecostal group. Her statement in the book says,
"With the heavy emphasis placed on the operation of a mission school, doctrinal differences were somewhat overlooked in those early days, and a strong rapport prevailed among most Protestant missionaries." They actually were allowed to go and minister together!!
WHAT HAPPENED since that time?

Sherri,
I dont know if I read it somewhere or it told to me by a missionary. When a missionary goes into some of these foreign lands everything is so different. The people can be very heathenistic, the culture is different, food etc.
That when another American, or English speaking person that is a CHRISTIAN comes to that area, they are so glad to see someone who they have something in common with, they could care less if they baptize in Jesus name.
To have some sort of interaction with another soul from the home land is so refreshing, its like coming across a long lost relative.
