John had received alot of comments about those 12 mistakes he had mentioned, so followed on today, including adding the original article so include it here.
John also picked up on two of the mistakes and shared a little on them, one being the comparison between sending out short term people, as opposed to long term people. He says that while both are fine, we, the western church, tends to have the mindset of sending out more short termers, rather than expecting people to be called out long term.
For me, it's something I have been pondering for some time now. What's the difference.. what causes some people to turn 'short term' into long term, and vice versa. What causes people who might have been called out long term, to only stay for a while. I have often wondered how many people God has spoken to about going but 'things' have happened along the way to cause them not to go... bad experiences, and the like. I would sooo love to look more at all those aspects that stop us from going out, and see how we could all support each other better, and encourage each other along the road to where ever God would have each of us.. wherever that would be!!
