COMMENTS

He spoke about some of the political and cultural changes we have seen in areas of the world that have created openings to more openly share.  I think, at least in our area, we have seen a cultural change with the immigration issue opening doors for the gospel.  I can only personally speak of our area but we know of many local believers who accepted Christ in the states and have come back and are now making inroads amongst their own people.  Also, because so many people in our villages have been to the states, we see an openness for them to approach us and befriend us which leads to sharing opportunities.  Let me know what some of you have seen in your areas.

I was glad to see he was very much against the model of church planters living in other areas(often at a good standard of living) and coming in and out of the villages to try to plant churches.  He preached incarnational living with the target people group which is definitely not easy but necessary.
