DIVERSITY
Why do we need diverse missionaries?
"There before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and before the Lamb” (Rev. 7:9).
EMBRACING THE IMAGO DEI
The past few years, we at MTW have been asking, “How do we better serve all of our brothers and sisters in our Church, who seek to serve as missionaries? How can we better come alongside all our churches, who want to send their members for missions, to reach a world that desperately needs Christ?”
We've been listening to our Hispanic, African American, and Asian American brothers and sisters, many of whom serve as advisors, representatives, and champions of missions.
With their guidance we've been changing, learning, adapting, repenting. The Lord must first change hearts. But we can work to change our processes, trainings, language, and practices to ensure that we are serving our whole church well.
