Missionary

Image
The other day we were coming back from Tsihombe with some teammates when our car got stuck in the sand.   We dropped it into four wheel drive attempted to get out.   The car did not respond immediately and it stalled out on us.   Not only did it stall out it died.   We couldn’t get the engine to turn over and we were stuck.   Thankfully there was another vehicle coming our way and they stopped to help us out.   They were workers with an NGO and cell phone tower operators.   As they described their jobs they said they were missionaries.   This caught Adam’s attention and he tried to inquire a little bit more about how they were missionaries.   The explanation given is that anyone working out in the bush area that is going there for a specific task is called a missionary.   This was a very interesting description and it has been something we have been thinking about.   Granted our real title here is “Mampivavaka” which means to “make pray” and it has a great meaning that goes along
