Last night over a long spring evening dinner on our patio, Kristi and I got to hear from a couple who have been missionaries in Cameroon for years. They are back in the States, at least for a while, now. And they are having to rediscover what "evangelism" means in this, their homeland! The husband is visiting in a neighborhood where he shared the Gospel 20 years ago, but finding a different neighbor, a different response and the need to understand our new context.
Here's an online article I ran across that offers some thoughts about:
- Come v Go
- Consumer v Disciple, and
- Do v Be
What do you think?
How do these apply to your setting, maybe the new church you're working with?
