Could you help a new missionary learn the language of his field? A group of students did! As a new missionary to China, Jonathan Goforth struggled to learn the language. When he stood up to preach, the Chinese would point to him and say to his colleague, “You speak, we don’t understand him.” Goforth despaired. But one day he had unusual liberty in preaching and reported to his wife, “I know the backbone  of the language is broken.” What made the difference? Find out in this week’s episode of Pocketing God’s Promises.
