Note: I am updating and reposting this blog from a couple of years ago.
For those of you who follow this blog because of your interest in ministry and missions (the basic reason for my website and for this blog, even though I stray at times to other items), I share a post from Carlos Ulate, missionary and minister in Heredia, Costa Rica. I first met Carlos about 30 years ago when the Holmes Road church in Lansing, Michigan committed to mission work in Costa Rica. We were a part of the work in Honduras which Carlos describes in the article linked below.
Carlos says some important things about doing mission work with the expectation and need for continuing US financial support. He is attempting to address the need to establish self-sustaining, self-directing, and self-propagating churches. The challenges are great, but the goal is commendable. I hope you will be challenged to think afresh about missions and ministry by reading the article: Our Philosophy of Missions.
