TSK does it again…
My friend Andrew Jones has a great article about self supporting missions. Several suprising things here:
- Andrew blogs as Tall Skinny Kiwi for a good reason… he’s tall, extremely skinny and from New Zealand (Kiwiland)
- Andrew and his family live in Scotland. I first “met” Andrew via the internet while he and his family lived in Prague and we lived in Nicosia.
- Andrew has lived all over the blooming world - including San Francisco - and has been involved in organic church planting, etc. everywhere he’s been.
- Andrew and I were last together at Seabeck, WA last October.
- His article quotes CMS (Anglican Church Mission Society) secretary Henry Venn regarding indiginazation and “3-self churches” from the 1850’s! Very cool. And sad. Since he reflects a totally non-19th nor 20th century approach to Church planting (CP).
It’s worth the read. Short, sweet, to the point. As we continue to look at ways to plant churches, it’s good to look over our shoulders at the wisdom of others.
