6. What does Jesus want us to do for the Sawi?

Different skin color, language, food, and culture... The exterior of a person or a group of people doesn't matter to Jesus and God. In Jesus' eyes we are all the same, we are the same people he created. He created each and everyone of us with love and thought. We are said to be created in the image of God. Therefore, Jesus ultimately wants each and everyone of his child to be saved by accepting him as the ultimate salvation and father of the universe.

Jesus wants us, Christians, to go into Sawi and preach the word of God. He wants us to have faith in him that his words have enough power and persuasion to change the faith of a culture that rotates around treachery and cannibalism. I believe that Jesus doesn't want us to destroy the culture when we are in the Sawi but rather help them live a life based on God. I vision that Jesus wants us to use this unique and different culture as a way to benefit us when preaching the word of God to the Sawi. He doesn't want us to preach in a condesending matter but rather in a more joyful and enthusiastic matter in which we also learn through the experiences of teaching the word of God to others.

We are equal to the Sawi. They are not inferior to us just because they have a different culture. I should be aware of this more than anyone because of the fact that I am a Korean American, someone who has a different culture as well. Therefore, I think Jesus wants me to use the fact that I am different, culture wise, to help the Sawi be accepted into this world not as an uncivilized culture, but as one of God's children.
