Question: What does Jesus want us to do for the Sawi?

One can only believe that what Don Richardson has done is the will of God, since He even speaks to Don Richardson and even helps him throughout his stay in the Sawi village. God has helped Don Richardson prove false the state of aumamay by helping Warahai to become conscious again. God has answered Don Richardson’s every prayer by creating a miracle, or what it seemed so to Sawi’s eyes. Thus, I say that God wants to assimilate Don Richardson and actualize what we have learned from him.
Don Richardson, even though he was introduced the Sawi village as “unhealthy as it can be” (77), showed his enthusiasm for the place by “Yes, we are happy to go to one of the tribes in the south! How soon can we leave?” (77) God wants us to show our determination in following His will. Don Richardson did not hesitate to go help those ‘uncivilized’, and neither did he have any worries about any unfavorable accidents. Don believed his trip to the Sawi village as the will of God, and thus he decided to trust it and follow it without questioning it. Jesus wants us to reflect our ultimate faith in our actions by gladly helping them.
What God has always wanted us to do for the Sawi is very simple. There will be a time when the chance will come; the chance to bring Christianity among the Sawi. God wants us, when such opportunity arrives, to banish all worries and with a smile on your face, say, “Yes, I am happy to go to the Sawi tribes. How soon can I leave?”
