The Swiss missionary Jurg Pfister reports that in Guinea (West Africa), an increasing number of people are realising that "you don't have to be white to be a missionary." Indigenous missionaries have a number of advantages over the "Toubabous" (whites): they understand the culture much better; often speak several languages and hence do not lose so much time learning; they don't have to leave their country and so save flight and administrative costs, and simply cost less than white missionaries - around $160 per month. In the Gueckedou region, dozens of Moslems converted to Christianity following evangelisation by an indigenous missionary. In one area, there are reports that a number of mosques were closed because so many people decided to become Christians. *J. Pfister, December 1995*
