How Christianity Spreads

Revisado: 11-12-20

We are familiar with names like St. Peter and St. Paul, who spread Christianity to the Roman Empire; St. Thomas, who brought it to the Far East;, and St. Patrick, in Ireland. We are familiar with stories of persecution and adventure, of larger-than-life personalities. Here is a modern example of how that kind of spread of a movement transcends continents and cultures. Like many of the heroes of Christian history, Tesema, did not start out as a believer, but once he became committed to the movement his personality catapulted him into situations of danger and adventure. Tesema's story would not be complete without the documentation of the marriage of two extrovert believers whose lives came together in the middle of their adventures. The husband/wife team is reminiscent of Aquila and Priscilla, a marital team which gained Biblical recognition, although we know little of their adventure.

The use of different English dialects in the reading of the audio book put me off at first, but once underway it heightened the drama. There was a bit of lag in interest with the introduction of church politics, but for the sake of honesty that is an unfortunate element of church history that was not omitted in the Biblical account, and must be preserved now.

I highly recommend listening to this story about how evangelism takes place in a hostile modern world.
