1974 Dr Ralph Winter presents paper on unreached people at the Lausanne conference. 1975 Bill Bright & Loren Cunningham get the idea of spheres of influence...which missiologists are now recognising as the integrated approach to missions. Thomas Wang in the 1990's called people to unreached people missions with the Ad2000. Now the latest burst in mission is likely to be tracked in history as call2all.
Mark Anderson, Call2All Leader:
He's been crying this morning because of his awareness of the work ahead.
Matt 5, beatitudes. People on stage were torn as they looked at the crowd this week. On one hand, the chinese were fervent and had sacrificed so much (sold land & fridges) to get there, and they arrived at 5am to pray and stayed all day...on the other side were westerners who were more concerned with networking and breakfast, even if it was good & for ministry. Mark sees that within himself, and now he can't stand it. Now he cries when he meets people from a broken background. He's also grieving over the arrogance of America. He's calling us to an intentional humbling. He's sensing the grace of God for a broken heart.
YWAM is entering a higher profile stage and so we need to spiritually prepare. As we build it's like Zerrubabals plumbline- ours is to be the beatitudes.
I have the feeling he thinks persecution is coming. Mark ends on saying God is looking for the meek & humble, so he is too.
