Last night at Perspectives, the National Director, David Flynn, taught about William Carey with a theatrical performance and followed up with stories and insights into other pioneers in missions history.
My favorite part of the night was when Mr. Flynn listed characteristics of pioneers. Here they are.
Pioneers...
- are truly passionate for God
- are available
- study the whole picture
- see needs/ resources through God's eyes
- are often considered unlikely to be significant
- pursue a vision beyond their abilities
- depend on prayer
- couple their prayer with action
- publish the challenge of their vision
- motivate others towards obedience-mobilization
- challenge common assumptions
- motivation is purely God's glory
