4. Why Indigitous?
1. God. His heart, glory and promises
“Write the vision, make it plain on tablets,
that the one who reads it may run…
For the earth will be filled with the
knowledge of the glory of the Lord as the
waters cover the sea.” Habakkuk 2: 2, 14

9. “Rapid appointment of indigenous
leaders in each location minimized
cultural friction by ensuring that
qualified, accepted insiders handled the
primary functions of leadership. This
strategy greatly increased Paul’s capacity
to influence hundreds and thousands,
rather than merely tens and fifties.”
