Keeping Nationalization in Perspective

Posted on April 1, 2006 by
April 1, 2006

In one week I heard three references to the importance of nationalization in mission. During a meeting, one of our missionary staff said, “If our sole purpose for being on the mission field is nationalization, then…” Later, another missionary asked, “Isn’t nationalization our primary reason for being a missionary?”

Partnership Revisited

Posted on April 1, 2006 by
April 1, 2006

Sometimes you’ve just got to go back to the basics. When Vince Lombardi, former coach of the National Football League’s Green Bay Packers, wanted to stop the team’s losing streak, he started by telling his players, “This is a football.”

A Really Useful Theological Doctorate for Africa

Twice a week for two years I commuted across Nairobi, Kenya, to teach at the Nairobi Evangelical Graduate School of Theology. During these commutes, I regularly passed a business with the unique and descriptive name “The Really Useful Landscaping Company.”

The Effective Use of Resources in Missions Partnerships

Posted on April 1, 2006 by
April 1, 2006
