I have many missionary friends. One told me a story that a missionary he knew went to an unreached town. They had not heard the Gospel,they had no Bible,they were so remote they lived in huts. No outside contact. When he came to the people they were so happy to see him. They told him they been given dreams of a man named Jesus and that someone was coming that would teach them more. Don't put God in a box brother. That remote town was saved thanks to a man willing to go and God preparing the way before him.
