Q&A: What is "T.H.U.M.B."? ("T" for TRIBAL)

In today's quick question, we're starting a new series about global religions, shared from a Christian mission-minded worldview. How do we teach our children and teenagers about what other religions believe? In this mini-episode, Ann Dunagan shares an introduction about Tribal Religions beliefs (also known as "Animism").  Here is "Highlights of World Religions" from  Teaching With God's Heart for the World, Volume 2, (by Ann Dunagan) which includes several pages about Tribal/Animism and explaining this religious belief to young people,from a biblical perspective. Included are basic beliefs, how to pray for people from remote tribal religions, and encouraging spiritual caution and prayer when learning about ancient religions -- introduced through popular family movies (such as Pocahontas, Moana, Avatar, or The Lion King), or in historical displays honoring ancient cultures and native religious practices.  Recommended mission books: Eternity in their Hearts by Don Richardson Peace Child, by Don Richardson Bruchko, by Bruce Olsen
