Melinda Mae’s Missiology

Please take a few minutes to read over, reflect upon, and email a friend the link to Melinda Mae’s Missiology.  To tease you here's the conclusion which found deep resonance: 

We would never profess to be solely responsible for building the Kingdom, though honest introspection may reveal more of Melinda Mae’s Missiology in us than we thought. What we need is a Christo-centric missiology, along with a bit of Adam Smit’s conviction which pushes us toward Jesus’ carism and his thorough addressing of people’s needs; a bit of Melinda Mae’s resolve, where we live as if we could eat the whole whale in eighty-nine years; and a bit of Romero’s sobering perspective that rightly sees God as the master builder. Perhaps then this movement will lead to serious renewal for the Church as well as for the world who observes it happening.

May it be so in my way of life as a follower of Christ part of the people of God called engaged in pioneering Faculty Ministry with InterVarsity Christian Fellowship ... my current focus being Central PA and Pittsburgh.  AND how about the Emerging Scholars Network as a monstrous whale to be eaten by a tiny group of friends ;-)  BTW, we now have 2,965 members!
