Ian shares about his experience of being on a short term team in North Africa. “I’ve been involved in cross-cultural evangelism in Nottingham for several years, and I’ve had a growing sense that God might be calling me overseas to work in a missionary context…”
I have come away with a new heart for mission, and a burden for unreached people that need Jesus and do not yet know him.
Over the last ten years Mat and Katy Linley and their children have been working in Mandritsara, northern Madagascar, on a project seeking to plant and strengthen churches among the unreached Tsimihety people group through a hospital, school, and radio station.
We were reminded how important it is to pray for workers in creative access contacts and to keep in regular contact with them.
One of the major premises of this book is that until we embrace our mutual brokenness, our work with low-income people is likely to do far more harm than good.
I’ve seen that mission is about getting alongside people and loving them where they are. Showing Christ to them and showing them the gospel, taking the opportunities that you get, understanding that it’s a slow process. It’s about sowing seeds and keeping talking.
