"When we first moved into the Dao [tribe]," wrote missionaries Derek and Sarah Grant, "we had come with the purpose of teaching the Dao people so they, in turn, could fulfill the Great Commission and teach others as well."
"We didn't anticipate this happening so soon."
Many Dao people were recently baptized. "During the baptisms, a lady named Paada stepped up to get baptized," wrote the Grants. "She was not here when we taught the Bible lessons, and as far as we knew, she was not a believer. However, she testified clearly."
The Grants turned to the four men they have been training to be church leaders and asked whether or not they should baptize the woman. The men responded, "Yes! She is a believer. We are the ones who taught her!"
"In all, there are four brand new believers that we didn't even know about until last week," wrote Derek and Sarah. "All of them were reached by God working through the other Dao believers. All four were baptized last week."
