Episode notes
Speed vs. Spirit In Mission Work
- Revivalistic, speed-driven methods can produce visible converts but often lack lasting fruit.
- Genuine Spirit-wrought growth arrives unpredictably through ordinary means like prayer, Scripture, and gathered testimony.
Use Church And Language As Guardrails
- Measure and organize missions by the local church and by language as primary guardrails.
- Prioritize planting and strengthening churches in each language rather than treating missions as miscellaneous programs.
Four Lanes Reveal Mission Priorities
- The 'four lanes' framework clarifies mission priorities across contexts and languages.
- Lane four (unreached language groups) often receives the least resources despite being the darkest gospel harvest field.
