Leadership without power

Where did we get the idea that the best way to train a church planter was to take them out of their situation and put them in a classroom for a few years? … If we have to build colleges to train the pastors we pay to plant churches, we’ll never see a multiplication movement that reaches the 80 million people of Central Asia.

Jay: We have white-hot faith, commitment to a cause, contagious relationships and rapid mobilization. Your fifth one was adaptive methods; speak to that one a little bit.

Jay: Let’s go on to your fourth characteristic — rapid mobilization.

Ed Stetzer wonders why so many “missional” churches are uninterested in doing global missions. Others have wondered why the emerging/missional church doesn’t do evangelism.
Dan Kimball agrees that something is wrong: “For the past few years, I have been observing, listening, and asking questions about the missional movement. I have a suspicion that the missional model [...]
