Our morning sessions today focused around issues of humility and integrity. One emphasis was on the prosperity gospel, a huge problem in much of the developing world. (Prosperity gospel theology teaches that if you give to God, i.e. to your pastor or leader, God will bless you with riches and health.)While we don't subscribe to this devastating doctrine, we in the West have our own sins of pride, power, and greed.
I talked at break with the head of The Seed Company (a division of Wycliffe Bible Translators), at lunch with a beauitful, young woman running a preschool in Zimbabwe, and at dinner with a German who is thinking through how to practice more intentional marketplace evangelism at home and globally. Talk about three different perspectives!
