Jesus Christ was a master teacher. Jesus embodied Truth, and He understood perfectly how people learn and change. He gave extremely effective lessons to His disciples. His approach to teaching involved doing, not just talking.
I have been reading, The Beauty of Partnership and have enjoyed teaching others who have engaged in cross-cultural mission trips. You can visit their site at beautyofpartnership.org and take a look at yourself what partnership might look like before you engage in your next missional project.
The challenges of serving a cross-cultural partnership are great. The risks are substantial. The opposition to building the Church and expanding God's kingdom is real. Yet, by God's grace, we can develop the skills to be a truly effective advocate for a cross-cultural ministry and partnership is very doable.
I believe that God is a missional or a sending God. Missio Dei (the “God of Mission”) is one of the ways we refer to God. God forms and sends people into our world to be a sign, servant and foretaste of the Kingdom of God. The term “Missional Church” is being used today and we are part of that movement if it is described as a “renewed theological vision for the church.”
