She invited us into the house (herteenage children were there) and told us that she wasRoman Catholic.

At that point I intervened and suggestedthat we find someone from the church who spoke herlanguage and send them by to visit with her and also thatwe try to get her a Bible in her own language. How couldan individual possibly understand the gospel and besaved when they are being dealt with in a language theydon’t understand? Further, as a Roman Catholic, itappeared to me that what little she did understand shewas re-interpreting in light of her false religion.This is an example of failing to deal with an individualproperly.My partner that day was a humble, sincere man of God.He was not trying to make a name for himself; he simplywanted to win people to Christ, but he had beeninfluenced by the standard soul-winning program andhad not thought beyond it.202
