The girls who speak the Indian language will teach it to their children. Spanish is the language of the conquest, the exploiters. I trust more in the power of the gospel in the mother tongue than the preaching of any missionary or evangelist. Revival is preceded by prayer, birthed through intercession, and sustained by fervent, persevering prayer.

Earthly Spirituality for Everyday Christians . Missionaries must cross linguistic, cultural, and social boundaries to proclaim the gospel in new settings. They must translate and communicate the Bible in the languages of people in other cultures so that it speaks to them in the particularities of their lives. They must bridge between divine revelation and human contexts, and provide biblical answers to the confusing problems of everyday life. This process of cross-cultural communication means that missionaries, by the very nature of their task, must be theologicans.
