Kevin DeYoung writes a lot of thoughtful and thought provoking material. I reviewed his short book on guidance and decision making, Just Do Something a short while ago. I appreciated the perspectives with which he engaged in Why We’re Not Emergent (co-written with Ted Kluck). I look forward to reading his new book Why We Love The Church (also co-written with Kluck).
On his blog, DeYoung, Restless and Reformed, he poses some questions which he believes are worth considering when framing a church’s mission budget. I think they are good points, ones which we engage with at mgpc, but which need to be considered again and again.
I’ll be providing the article to our Mission IDEA group for their consideration.
If there was a fifth question I would like to see consideration given to how the church and its members are being enabled to gain cross cultural experience themselves. (Short term work.)
