"When you begin to think outside the box, you often become some other "leaders" lousy follower. That usually costs something" (Andy Rayner)

"Our guardian angels are bored." (Mike Foster)

It's where I feel I'm at these days. “In the second half of life, it is good just to be a part of the general dance. We do not have to stand out, make defining moves, or be better than anyone else on the dance floor. Life is more participatory than assertive, and there is no need for strong or further self-definition” (Falling Upward. Richard Rohr.120).

Massive Leadership Training Problem- Lack of Literature in need Languages

Would you rise up and translate Biblical study Text for the needy training of National leaders world wide?

"Today it is possible to do biblical theological research at a bachelor's degree level easily in only three languages (English, German and Spanish). It is possible, but not easy, to do this same research in four or five other languages. About 43 other major languages serve the educational needs of 85 percent of the world's population. Currently it would be impossible to find sufficient books for a full bachelor's level theological program in any of them. This lack of high quality indigenous Christian literature is one of the weakest features of the modem Protestant missionary endeavor. David Barrett has reported at least 700 global plans to evangelize the world. We do not know of a single plan to begin providing basic text and reference r books in the 43 educational languages, around the globe.
