Micronesia vs. The Gospel

Problem #1: Reciprocity
The problem here is not that people are unwilling to be missionaries, do ministries, to support, or even just to share. The problem is the motive of giving. The motive is status. The idea of reciprocity is so ingrained that it takes time to change it.


Here's what it means: if someone supports you, you must somehow find a way to repay him back. Repaying someone in much more abundance than what he gives you boost your status in society.
