Bible Question (short): Evengelists, get locals' support. |
Question (full): Matt 10:10 or a bag for your journey, or even two coats, or sandals, or a staff; for the worker is worthy of his support. Mark 6:8-9 and He instructed them that they should take nothing for their journey, except a mere staff--no bread, no bag, no money in their belt--but to wear sandals; and He added, "Do not put on two tunics." Jesus' above instructions are not followed closely today because when going on mission trips we normally pay for our entire expenses. Furthermore, we bring gifts to locals and build houses, schools, hospitals, or churches for locals. There is criticism such a practice on evangelism increases locals' dependence on materials rather than the Gospel. In contrast, when Jesus' disciples followed the instructions, they lacked nothing and their missionary work was successful. My question is, Do you think Jesus' way of evangelism is still valid today? Any thoughts, observations, or experiences to share? |
