ju st a little about Jesus in th e Span ish language. T h e y would want to know H im well. T h e re are m any, m any tribes who do not understand the Spanish language. Can’t you come, you? W h a t does the W ord o f Jesus say? Does it not say, go into a ll the world and preach the gospel? Th ink of th a t word. W e here cannot go fa r away.
