Pastor Gary Edmonds

Here are His 5 points:


  1. The world has been turning upside down: The places that are harvested belong to God, and the Gospel is at owrk today to redeem and call His cause. A movement is happening, ad unheard places are meeting Jesus ( notice that it is not just "knowing" Jesus)
  2. The Gospel is About the Kingdom! It about stirring up the kingdom, a Jesus who comes to restore.
  3. Social Unity is essential for Credibility! This tells us how to look like a body. To be 1 just as God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit are one.
  4. It's all about not only sending the right people, but sending the right people TO the right people: to identify them and guide these people.
  5. You will run into pain and suffering: Asking to participate in his will(plan for missions)

For our trip, i think it will mean the Social Unity. We need it to work this out. One cannot be a blockstone for another person, which then will cause that second person to be a blockstone for other. So we need to be alert to other people's characters and behaviours; and having constant prayer for unification of the team. Also, the fifth one is valuable. We will suffer, that's part of being Christian (unless God doesn't permit u to suffer) but there will be sufferings in our life, and weneed to be ready to tackle them full on, never ceasing to depart from the Gospel so we do not fall. The book of James is full of suffering passages, so Cheer On and Rejoice!
