A Dress Rehearsal?

We’ve been at this for almost 30 years now. Together with everyone who has helped, we have learned many lessons.

Question 1: “How do we start a movement where many people can take the gospel to many locations, without us, and train up leaders who will do the same?”

Question # 2, “How can we help others experience Jesus as we know Him?”, because when they do, they will help their family and friends.

In talking with Clenildo, I realize we cannot work any harder. We need to learn our lessons and release a thousand new people to ten thousand new locations.

Maybe we’re still working on a prototype, a model that will resonate with the culture in a way that will inspire the next generation of leaders to experience the joy of missionary work, training leaders, and planting churches.

But now I’m thinking out loud…

What are your thoughts?

Please pray for Clenildo while you’re gathering your thoughts. Pastors and leaders can get accidentally overburdened, and we need each other’s prayers and encouragement.
