“Icalo ca Bantu Abasansamuka”

Ukuntuma na Astrid Anderson ku Thailand kwaba bupe ubo Yehova ampeela. Pa kuyafika ku Thailand twapoosele imilungu 7 mwi shitima lya pa menshi. Ilyo twafikile mu Bangkok, umusumba uukalamba uwa mu Thailand, twasangile ukuti mwaliba sana amamaliketi no tumilonga utwingi uto babomfya kwati misebo. Mu 1952, bakasabankanya ba mu Thailand tabafikile na kuli 150.

Ilyo twamwene Ulupungu lwa kwa Kalinda mu lulimi lwa ku Thailand, twalitwishike atuti, ‘Bushe tukatala atwishiba ukulanda ulu lulimi?’ Ica-afishe sana kwishiba ifya kushimbula amashiwi. Ku ca kumwenako, ukulingana ne fyo walishimbula, ishiwi khaù kuti lyapilibula “umupunga” nelyo “imbila.” E ico, inshiku sha kubalilapo nga twaya mu kushimikila ninshi natucincila, twale-eba abantu ukuti, “Namuletelako umupunga uusuma” mu nshita ya kubeba ukuti, “Namuletelako imbila nsuma”! Lelo panono panono, pa numa ya kutuseka sana, twalisambilile ululimi lwa ku Thailand.

Abantu ba ku Thailand baliba bwino sana. E mulandu wine icalo ca Thailand bacitila ukuti Icalo ca Bantu Abasansamuka. Ilyo twafikile fye batutumine mu kubombela mu musumba wa Khorat (uo nomba beta ukuti Nakhon Ratchasima). Twabombelemo imyaka ibili, lyena batutumine ku musumba wa Chiang Mai. Abengi aba mu Thailand baBuddha kabili tabaishiba na Baibolo. Ilyo twali ku Khorat, nalesambilila Baibolo no wali umukalamba pa poshiti ofeshi. Ilyo twalelanda pali Abrahamu, uyu mwaume alyumfwile bwino pantu alimwishibe. Lelo, pa numa naishileiluka ukuti Abrahamu aletontonkanyapo, te uyu Baibolo yalandapo. Lelo ena aletontonkanya pali Abraham Lincoln, uwali kale presidenti wa calo ca America!

Twaleipakisha ukusambilisha abena Thailand abalefwaisha ukusambilila Baibolo, e lyo abena Thailand nabo bene balitusambilishe ukulateka imitima ku fintu fye ifyo tukwete. Ici calicindeme sana pantu ing’anda twafikiilemo mu musumba wa Khorat, tamwali amalaiti na menshi. Ilyo twalebombela ukwa musango yu, ‘twalisambilile inkama ya . . . kukwata ifingi ne ya kubulwa.’ Nge fyo cali na ku mutumwa Paulo, na ifwe bene ‘twali na maka pantu kwali uwaletukosha.’—Fil. 4:12, 13.
