The study and practice of mission - how to reach out to a world whose values and viewpoints are very different from those of the Bible - is a vital skill. To remain pastors of the faithful is not enough; to become pioneers, boldly leading the people where the church has never gone before, is essential.

That certainly is food for thought. Having relevance in people's lives is a big deal. Certainly is a skill and I'm not sure how many possess it! Can it be learned, do you think?
Ah Rach... you were so gracious with my typo!! - Thankyou!
Can it be learnt? - I would have to say yes. How do you learn it? - that's a whole other question!
I think some of the Experiencing God study works towards the answer. It focuses on how to hear from God and that, I think, keeps us 'leading the people where the church has never gone before' because God sees so much more than we ever do.
More food for thought!
P.S. - did you get the book in the end?
