- Most missionaries have to learn more than one language for ministry on the field, especially if they’re going to Unreached People Groups.
- Communication with supporters and support raising is not merely a means to an end. Rather, it is an essential and equal part of God’s appointed ministry for the missionary.
- If your goal is indigenous ministry, you’re going to have to give up a lot of technology and modern trappings to make the ministry reproducible.
- Language learning is not merely a means to an end. Rather, it is an essential God appointed priority for your effectiveness for the long-term.
- The single most important attribute in which new missionaries need to grow and in which they have the most opportunity to grow is humility.
