The engagement is growing during our Missions Blabs! People chatting, leaving thoughtful messages, asking pertinent questions, calling in to share their video screen with us and converse about missions topics—it’s been exhilarating!
Steve Schirmer, president of Silk Road Catalyst, and I host the Missions Blab. We have a bunch of great video replays you can check out and always have scheduled conversations on the burner.
I wish all my friends were on Blab!
The topic was “Indigenous Or Foreign Missionaries: Who Is More Effective?” We came to the conclusion (we had a hunch even before we started) that it is not an either/or ordeal, not an us versus them concept, but rather a teaming up through relationship to impact unreached people groups with the gospel of Jesus Christ.
“[Our host] culture has enough anti-Christian tendencies without our contributions. God is hoping to keep “ours” from multiplying “theirs.” Our mission, no matter our specific baggage, must be to establish, in the Church, Christlike transformation. – China Source
I encourage you to watch the replay with open eyes and open ears to hear what the Spirit is saying to you today, namely, that regardless of the origin of your passport or cultural upbringing, you have a part to play in fulfilling the Great Commission.
All my live video broadcast replays can be found on my Blab profile here.

A great article on this topic is from China Source in an article called The Changing Role of Foreign Workers in China.
“Do [foreigner missionaries] still have a place in [missions]? An easy answer flows from simply recognizing that both historically and today, God has, and is, clearly using people from throughout his body to accomplish his purposes.” – China Source
