Cell Group

Last night, my friend, his non-Christian ex-classmate in Belfast, UK and myself went to a cell group meeting in a deacon's beautiful bungalow. It was supposed to be a cell group on Friday, but apparently they have decided to take a break for the week and in the end, there were only 4 of us discussing and having fellowship. It was a cozy atmosphere as there were not too many people, 3 men and myself. I did not share too much, as they did most of the talking and my friend was hoping his non-Christian classmate will become a Christian one day.

The host, a deacon in our church, in his beautiful bungalow in Minden Heights tried to show us The Pineapple Story, a video tape on the pineapple plot and this missionary staying in Irian Jaya trying to reach out to the villagers there on his own. The villagers are born thieves and keep stealing anything in his home and the pineapples. No matter what he did, even to the point of hiring them to plant pineapples, the villagers will continue stealing the pineapples from this missionary.

To cut the long story short, it was when the missionary decided to surrender and give the pineapple plot to God that the thieves stopped stealing the pineapples. This was because when the pineapples were stolen, the thives experienced sickness, disease and other mishaps that they have stopped stealing the pineapples altogether. Not only that, the whole village got converted to Christianity.
