"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).

Western Ideas Taken into Pioneer Missions!


"In some aspects, westernized Christianity has captivated the gospel in Western culture for centuries. Examples of this include:

1. A church needing full-time clergy who have graduated from a Bible college or seminary.

2. A church meeting once a week on Sunday morning around 10 or 11 a. m.

3. A church needing a building.

4. A church needing a three-point sermon.

5.Church planting needing lots of funding.

(A Critical Evaluation of the Westernization of the Gospel, By Daniel Kim. Lausanne world pulse, March 2008)
