8. God’s Ultimate Vision
14 For the earth will be filled with
the knowledge of the glory of the
LORD as the waters cover the sea.
- Habakkuk 2:14
9. Make The Vision Plain on Tablets
1 I will take my stand at my watchpost and station myself on
the tower, and look out to see what he will say to me, and what
I will answer concerning my complaint. 2 And the LORD
answered me: “Write the vision; make it plain on tablets, so he
may run who reads it. 3 For still the vision awaits its appointed
time; it hastens to the end—it will not lie. If it seems slow, wait
for it; it will surely come; it will not delay. 4 “Behold, his soul is
puffed up; it is not upright within him, but the righteous shall
live by his faith. - Habakkuk 2:1-4

25. “Students will pursue their questions much more
readily online, in privacy, when the question is on
their mind. Also, no one is challenging them. They
are alone. It’s just them and their computer/phone.
They are quiet. And they can really focus. It is a
perfect environment for God to speak to them.
And often, they are more honest, because it’s just
them dealing with the issue, the topic. It’s real.”
-- Marilyn Adamson, Founder of EveryStudent.com

30. “Most new religious
movements fail because they
quickly become closed or semi-
closed networks. They fail to
keep forming and sustaining
attachments to outsiders and
therefore lose the capacity to
grow.”
31. “Successful movements
discover techniques for
remaining open networks.
Herein lies the capacity of
movements to sustain
exponential rates of growth
over a long period of time.”
- Rodney Stark, The Rise of Christianity

We are missionaries. “Going” embraces God’s heart for every tribe, tongue, people and nation.We go where people are.
One primary task of the missionary is to understand the target culture’s language so that she can communicate the WORD of LIFE meaningfully and accurately in that cultural setting.We studied Chinese, which has thousands of little sayings. Such as…I didn’t learn many. But I did learn a few. Even these helped me connect my life to the Chinese people. Try some yourself…Because of God’s call, we go where the lost people are.
