He has some valid observations. Its definitely a delicate balance that church and "worker" must strike. It would take a lot of faith (or be very stupid) for a church to raise funds for someone they haven't checked out. The church needs to know more about the person going, than his planned methodology. Methods will change depending on times and places, but if a church finds enough to like about a person's character and relationship with God, they won't need to worry about the methodology as much.<br /><br />This may sound like a "nothing" answer. But like so many topics in our faith, we need to keep fighting back to the center, and be ready to correct ourselves away from getting to far right or left of center.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01457465086465165191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3581047259314187297.post-23168795714480354192010-08-25T18:12:34.994+03:002010-08-25T18:12:34.994+03:00I agree with you guys- I was thinking this would b...I agree with you guys- I was thinking this would be really good for myself to write out responses to all of the these questions.<br /><br />Additionally, see this comment for some insight: http://biblicalmissiology.org/2010/08/17/contextualization-guidelines-for-missions/comment-page-1/#comment-1067Warrick Farahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00389839484261120626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3581047259314187297.post-79467808703915972092010-08-24T19:46:41.715+03:002010-08-24T19:46:41.715+03:00I don't think a prospective missionary could g...I don't think a prospective missionary could give anything more than general or tentative answers to these questions until he or she has been ministering in that context. Even then, the honest answer will still be a lot of "it depends." A simple exercise of trying to answer these questions in a U.S. context bears this out.<br /><br />It seems to me that this questionnaire would be of limited use except as a list of "things to think about as you minister."Elnwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03209622976747469367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3581047259314187297.post-36632849127247780702010-08-20T00:27:48.964+03:002010-08-20T00:27:48.964+03:00That "How" question is a tough one.
