Listen. Ask questions. Listen some more.There's no question you need to do a lot of talking and teaching when you are discipling. You also need to do some serious listening. I don't know if it is especially true when you are working with people from other cultures, but it is definitely just as true.Talking with someone today, a good friend for a long time now, who was telling me that he has a close relative who killed four of his children and a grandmother who had done something similar. Wow. I didn't see that coming. When I asked if that was unusual, he told me not at all. Apparently there are sometimes sangomas who suggest that stuff like this needs to happen for your crops to be successful or for your business to do well.Now there's a lot to work through there because sometimes there is a lot of suspicion in these countries and often there are many unexplained deaths, you put the two of those together and you get some stories sometimes. But in this case the people actually admitted to it, so again, wow.Of course, as I sat and thought about it later, we have the same kind of thing going on in our country with abortion and we also have our own sophisticated explanations as to why. Sad though still the same and a good reminder as well, to teach, instruct and listen so that I can speak biblically about the issues the people I am discipling are really facing.
