From her letter dated at 3rd Nov. '08
In her recent
letter she has pointed out some important facts that have been very
much neglected by church and Christian ministries.She writes,
"By sometimes, I come and go, and with the poor-me and give-me mentality of the tribes, most Christian churches reached out and made the poor depend on them,
that is a hard habit to break.
My vision is for the poor to sustain themselves
and be able to get out of poverty while fixing
their dependancy and faith to God.
But for centuries, we were colonized by Western powers
made us dependent on them and leaving the past behind
(like burning what the termites had eaten),
we should look to Jesus for transformation of our thinking (mind) and living the fullness of life in God."

"Please pray that God would sustain me despite my frustrations in ministry.
I believe it is possible to for the tribe to get out of the cycle of pooverty, if only they are not just given fish,
but trained and well-equpped to do fishing and
establish a fish farm."

"Education os one of the big problems that the tribes
are facing, but if one or two are educated and can earn on their own, and could sponsor fellow-tribes
that will be the fulfillment of the vision
that God has given me.
―Transforming the tribes to transform others―
I believe it is possible with God's help and direction and with your prayers.
Mary Jane"
