Cultural Challenges in Sharing Gospel Message
Growing up among the Sawi tribe in New Guinea, the Richardsons faced a significant challenge in sharing the gospel message due to cultural differences. The tribe's worldview did not align with the concept of love and forgiveness, leading to confusion when explaining Judas betraying Jesus.

This experience highlighted the cultural barriers the Richardsons had to navigate in their mission to share God's message with the Sawi tribe.
