Words of Wisdom

Recently, I was in Fruitland Park, FL for The Mission Society's Global Gathering. (All the missionaries that serve under the umbrella of The Mission Society came together for training, enrichment, fellowship and celebration of The Mission Society's 30th Anniversary.) Here are some "Words of Wisdom" from that Gathering...

~ "You can have friendship without discipleship, but I don't believe that you can have true discipleship without friendship."

~ The Bible calls us to BE like Christ, not to DO things. If we are willing to be, then God can do through us.
~ The role for North American missionaries in the global church is to be the "talka" guys - to share the Gospel where it hasn't gone before.
~ "We [as North American] missionaries tend to go too few places and try to do everything for everyone." - Steve Saint
~ The Steve Saint approach to effective missions - "Know, Go, Show, and Blow". Know the Gospel message, go and show others, then get out.
~ Teach us to teach others to walk on God's path. -The Waorani people to Steve Saint
