Dr. David Garrison, author of Church Planting Movements, met recently with Alliance missions leaders. Something he said greatly challenged me. If we focus on the question "What can I do?," the Great Commission will never be fulfilled. No one of us has what it takes to complete it.
Rather the strategic question is "What's it gonna take?" It's gonna take more than I can do, more than any one of us can do. It's gonna take kingdom synergy, lots of people working together in power of the Holy Spirit, people fully devoted to Christ, committed to Him, His mission and working under His lordship with the forces of heaven. It's gonna take pouring ourselves out, even sacrifice. It's gonna take God at work through us. His joy is to empower people fully committed to Him and His mission.
What's it gonna take? Everything we are and everything we have. God's power and involvement. Pouring it out until there are zero unengaged, unreached people groups left on this planet. May this happen in our lifetimes!
