Chirping solo for minutes, the East African bird looked dejected.  Then there were tweets from nearby bushes. Between breaks for others to join the conversation, the bird peeped with gusto!  A missionary observing this event realized:  Believers desiring to share our Father's love and salvation with “every nation, tribe, language and people” (Revelation 14:6) cannot just talk or preach!  We must communicate – which means talking WITH others, listening, knowing what they are hearing, and responding to them.  We must make certain that others are truly understanding and hearing our Good News not only with their ears, but more importantly with their hearts!
