What It Will Take - To Get The Job Done
Priorities - the unreached must remain at the forefront of the our awareness
Mobilizing – the 99% of Christians who have no involvement with mission (incl prayer) – then our competing agendas will become irrelevant
Sacrifice – our prospects, our careers, our finances, willing to suffer and die
Partnership – true collaboration between
the senders, supporters, prayers, givers and goers
specific partnerships for specific unreached groups (Fulani, Marsh Arabs)
the West and the rest, no more “us and them” mentality
unity as a deliberate expression of the body of Christ – power of multicultural teams, power of united prayer (GDOP)
Prayer –“without ME you can do nothing”, “when man works, man works, when man prays, GOD works”
