Hi Darryl,
You might want to read the book _Eternity in Their Hearts_ by Don
Richardson. Richardson's thesis is that all peoples have the seed of
redemptive understanding planted by God in their culture, waiting to be
watered by believers willing to go to them and work to offer them the
freedom from bondage that comes from knowing Jesus.
Or as Jesus said, the fields are white for harvest, pray for laborers to
go forth.
