WELL PUT.
Have you read ETERNITY IN THEIR HEARTS?
It is a rare Christian book by an anthropologist. It is a collection of stories from around the world of God using various means to prepare different tribal people's for the Gospel.
In one case, a tribal people in Southern China, Northern Burma or some such area . . . HAD NEVER HAD a written language. Yet, there was a tribal story that one day in the future, a white man riding on a donkey would come bringing THE BOOK OF GOD WRITTEN IN THEIR LANGUAGE. This story Shamen had handed down for countless generations.
Sure enough, by an amazing sequence of circumstances, early in this century or some such, I think an American--may have been Canadian or Aussie--arrived at their tribe on a donkey bearing The Bible which had been translated using tapes of their language and a helper.
The book has many incredible stories like that.
I think God sometimes uses virtually any and every channel possible to get through to us thickheaded critters.
