“Why send the North American missionaries when nationals can do it?
The concern is that a narrow either/or attitude is more a plot than a plan –a plot to undermine and slow the work of world evangelism.
Our options are not: either support nationals OR send missionaries.
The task is so big we must do both.
The greatest missionary of all, Jesus Christ, left the comforts of Heaven to come to us, to walk among the filth and mire of humanity.
He did not send His angels to do His bidding He came in the flesh to reveal the message of God’s tender mercy.
Because He came for all, we must go to all."
