When we think of the early church and missions, Paul is obviously the mission to consider. There are three basic characteristics that distinguish the method typically used today, and his method. Our method includes the following:
missionaries tend to go from one place to another and stay for a long time, meeting or important roles overseeing: evangelism, administration and funding. We work very hard to can add as many converts as the kingdom of God.
missionaries tend to stay local believers to meet the same qualifications missionaries themselves and have proved to be capable of handling things like missionaries do.
tend to give local people very little authority and responsibility . We also tend to remove what we have given at the first sign of failure .
How Paul did do differently? How long did? What local believers were point when the left? What kind of authority and responsibility were given to local believers? In answering these important questions in the following posts see more clearly what had Paul is so incredibly efficient and successful.
