"Take one piece of popcorn. This represents one language - let's say the English language. Ok, now eat it... goodbye English! How about another one? .... How many pieces of popcorn would represent the number of languages in Cameroon? .... I have 10 "languages" (pieces of popcorn) in each of these baggies, and this plastic bag is full of little baggies, so that makes....? There are over 250 languages spoken in Cameroon."
So went my "spiel" 8 times today as we were part of a "missions fest" at Christy and Jenny's elementary school. How can you communicate Cameroon to these kids in a way that will grab them, and make them realize that they take so much for granted? You can't. You just do your best, and realize that God will use that for His glory in some way.
Pray for these future missionaries and the work in Cameroon every time you eat some popcorn....
