Week 1 Wednesday

As I listened to the stories of McGavrin and his life as a third generation missionary in India I thought about in what ways his approach to mission mirror our approach to mission here in the US. I thought about how my understanding of evangelism often gets caught up in the numbers game and "converting" people. I thought it was interesting that Bolger discussed how within 2 years of coming to faith the majority of new Christians stop witnessing to their non-Christian friends and abandon the missional attitude. My hope and prayer is that I can maintain the right balance in my own life when it comes to mission and witnessing to others.
