I wanted to share this bit of feedback as well, because this is a huge part of what Amazon Focus does: Encouraging churches to commit to partnering with tribal churches.
I am so pumped about the possibility of North American churches partnering with the Amazonian tribal churches. I believe that by understanding “Church-2-Church Partnerships”, the local church will begin to take ownership of missions.
This wave has really swept me up and I’m going to ride it out. I’m trying to compose ways to communicate the partnership concept. A short-term trip is an ideal environment for considering opportunities and deciding life-changing issues.
It used to be that we would get people out there short-term and ask them to consider two simple choices: Am I called to go or to send? Now as we take “decision making” people out there, and they see that the tribal church is doing the job effectively, we need to ALSO ASK if they want to PARTNER in the mission task!
