They Get It
When I talk to disciples in Iran I know they can immediately understand what is going on in the movements in Texas prisons, or those under the Communists in Laos, or under Islamic rule in the Middle East.
They speak different languages, but they know the language of movements. They read the book of Acts and say, βThatβs our reality.β We suffer, and the Word advances in power.
The identity of every movement of God is shaped by obedience to his Word, dependence on the Holy Spirit, faithfulness to the core missionary task β multiplying disciples and churches to the glory of God. Among every people group. In every place.
The church in the West, with all its history, power and resources speaks another language.
