Mongolia

Is there a key player in missions mobilization? I think there is…and it’s not me…

This is the first line in a recent post at Remember Mongolia.  Now, I have to admit, any post that starts off with – I am not sure how to construct this post in a way that is not going to offend some… – is going to grab your attention.  But this particular article ended up being thought provoking all the way down, so I thought I’d draw your attention to it.  It will really get you thinking about mobilizing people to reach the world…

I am not sure how to construct this post in a way that is not going to offend some. It’s not that I am afraid of offending people. I’m not so bad at that. However, I really don’t like being offensive. I particularly don’t like the possibility of offending people whom I know and even like. (This may be why I really don’t have that many friends…)

But I write.

The past few months have found me in different kinds of churches, mostly in Wisconsin, to talk missions, Mongolia and the Kingdom and Glory of Christ. Each church is a menagerie of different experiences: fun, interesting and, in some cases … well … interesting. I’ve been in small churches and I’ve been in large churches, each with its own dynamic and various strengths and weaknesses. I must say that over all it’s been a good experience, even though I am now quite ready to get back to my family in Franklin.

Missions mobilization is the primary job of the furloughing missionary. I believe that. My aim is that as many churches as possible will be involved with God’s mission for the world. It’s my hope that stories from the field, direct contact with the workers (i.e., me) and exposition of the Bible will help people in churches move closer to the least reached and unreached peoples of the world.

I make one major observation from doing this tour (this is where the offensive part comes)…
