This was a very helpful breakout! Thanks for sharing

So he determined out of one encounter that this missionary was not adequately prepared??? Who is to say that a missionary needs to share the gospel on the first encounter? Do people in these region come to faith after hearing the gospel for the first time? Really? Ok, did not want to know a person is not good. This does not indicate not trained. People have plenty of training, the problem is that generally wrong people choose the mission field. Many quit soon because they are not built for this. It is not necessarly training but pretty easy life they lived prior…. These videos a way to short to be helpful. What is the purpose? Some kind of teaser? Or, people do not have attention so we will post videos of 1-2 minutes? That does not serve much to this cause of the great commision! If you want for these videos to serve any purpose, need to post extensive videos!!!! The real training starts on the field.

1."Share a clear gospel message that holds up Christ crucified - our resurrected Savior - and we need to make sure that we understand biblical conversion." 2. "Plant a church that is rooted in the main biblical principles of a healthy church for any time, in any land." Yes!! Build the church with materials that last! Thank you, Mack, for offering clarity to those in our evangelical community who have become confused about what church planting means. We need this clarity so desperately.

Such a good point. Consider carefully whom you can and cannot link arms with based on your biblical convictions. So simple yet so underrated.

Helpful expounding of definitions! Also, I think I know that pastor from my time in Shanghai at SWBC. It's cool to hear they've started an international church in Bangkok now! Praise God for faithful planters!

Brilliant! Thank you!
