We usually talk about missions in terms of goers and senders - if you're not called to missions, send somebody who is.<br /><br />That's good and necessary but incomplete. The whole structure of mission in the NT is based on the assumption that there are foundation layers and builders. Everybody is somebody. Everybody is called to a task. <br /><br />In addition to raising up foundation layers from their midst church goers are really empowered to build, disciple, evangelize, plant.david gentinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04682161542505476663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4585134877503047781.post-70765883302073583552010-08-25T10:36:43.807-07:002010-08-25T10:36:43.807-07:00how might this change, or challenge current church...how might this change, or challenge current church planting strategies?P.D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08430750539812333029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4585134877503047781.post-2601269476990363262010-08-22T21:47:33.114-07:002010-08-22T21:47:33.114-07:00A good reminder that there is a need for special g...A good reminder that there is a need for special gifting at all stages of church growth. It's sad when there are great starters who can lay a great foundation but nobody who knows how to fit the rest of the building together. It is for this reason that I am glad for the Pastoral Epistles in which Paul gives us a glimpse of what continuing the work of building looks like.Jon Fursthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11224414515875067495noreply@blogger.com
