"Missionaries - you don't have to have it all together. Remember, God wants to do as much in you as he wants to do through you." #prefield_orientation

[Bradley Bell @bradleyrbell]

At the @UpstreamSending Sending Church Gathering today we’re hearing from Pastor @Jamaal711 on the importance of building a multiethnic kingdom culture in our sending churches

Hearing from @bradleyrbell on how to maintain a vibrant spiritual life as a sent one. #prefield_orientation

"A healthy level of contextualization honors both God's word and the host culture, avoiding the two ditches of over-contextualization and under-contextualization." #prefield_orientation

[Upstream Sending @UpstreamSending]

"Neither the gospel not its fruit - Christians and churches - are tied to any one culture, people or language. Instead, the global church is just that: global. She is intended to be multi-ethnic and diverse." #prefield_orientation

"Pursing the Great Commandment is part of the missio dei, but pursing the Great Commission is the missionary task." #prefield_orientation

[Upstream Sending @UpstreamSending]

"God's missions strategy is the local church. We want to do ministry in, through, and alongside the local church." #prefield_orientation

Spending time with "Sent Ones" in North Africa/Middle East this week. I have been reminded, once again, that the teachers for the American church are found in some of the hardest spiritual soils . We have to develop both a theology of mission and a theology of suffering.
