12. David Barrett on Good Missions Stewardship
“Dollar for dollar and hour for hour, the harvest coming from the 10/40 Window nations outstrips that from the rest of the world 100 to 1,” Barrett says. “That is, if the same money and time spent to win one person to the Lord in the West were put to use in the 10/40 Window nations, the effort would yield a harvest of 100 souls added to the kingdom of God. It is 100 times more cost effective, therefore, to reach those in the 10/40 Window. But for a sizable number of ethnolinguistic groups, cost-effectiveness reaches 1000 times more than in Western countries.”
World Christian Encyclopedia 12

33. Avoiding Unhealthy Dependency
The road to dependency is paved with good intentions
Unhealthy dependency results from doing for people what they could do or should do for themselves
(If their dignity and initiative were respected, they could do things for themselves)
We might assume that people are poor because they appear to us to be poor
The assumption can drive the process
If you make people think they are poor, they may begin to believe you
Be careful not to assume that people have nothing to give back to God
Avoid dependency from the beginning
Day one affects day 100
From Glenn Schwartz

34. Avoiding Unhealthy Dependency
In New Testament, money never goes from mother church to mission field
New Testament church planting did not depend upon money in the mother church
Westerners often use money to solve problems, even when money might not be the best solution
Goal – indigenous churches: 1) self-supporting, 2) self-governing, 3) self-propagating
The challenge is to learn how to help the poor without causing long-term dependency
Some people want to give money, but not themselves
“If Christians in Africa gave just 2% of their income, they could pay all their expenses.” Dr. David Barrett
From Glenn Schwartz

35. Avoiding Unhealthy Dependency
It is almost impossible for westerners to accept that our “compassion” might be at the root of the dependency problem
Westerners get a good feeling from helping others – even if, in the long run, the consequences are harmful
Short-term suggestions:
Everyone should go as learners, not as teachers
Never allow anyone on the team to be in charge on any part of the project
Don’t give the impression that your wealth is the key to solving every problem in another culture
What can Westerners do with their money?
Radio broadcasting (in unevangelized region)
Bible translation (since does not have a natural constituency)
Support missionaries
Be careful about helping where the church exists and should be standing on its own two feet
From Glenn Schwartz

36. Avoiding Unhealthy Dependency
Foreign funding can be like a poison or pollutant
Unhealthy dependency makes it nearly impossible for churches to send out their own missionaries
A characteristic of the dependency syndrome is that outsiders often cannot see the inconsistency of their actions
Do not do for others what they can and should do for themselves
Be cautious about child sponsorship programs (where there are extended families)
Be careful about providing scholarships for people to be trained outside of their cultural context
Avoid building church buildings for people who can build them for themselves (one of the biggest areas of abuse)
Let local builder directing building project
From Glenn Schwartz

37. Avoiding Unhealthy Dependency
Missionaries should not seek or accept a position or responsibility that could be filled by a local person
Missionaries should excuse themselves from business meetings whenever possible
The mission must die before the church can be born
Missionaries should avoid creating a personal agenda of things to be accomplished before leaving their assignment
True ownership occurs when local churches are free to make decisions on their own
Sometimes missionaries would do well to sit back and do nothing
Many short-termers have no idea of the impact that giving money can have on those they try to help
Short-termers often go where the gospel has been preached for decades (or more than a century)
From Glenn Schwartz

38. Avoiding Unhealthy Dependency
Well-intentioned efforts help to destroy local initiative
Those who are perpetuating dependency through their good intentions are most likely to get a good feeling from the contribution they are making
Beware subsidizing Bible prices overseas
Think sustainability!
Is it right to continue to send missionaries and funds to places where the gospel has been preached for a long time while others have not had the opportunity to hear it for the first time?
From Glenn Schwartz

44. Apostolic Passion (Homework)
Those who have apostolic passion are planning to go, but willing to stay
If you will not suffer and sacrifice for something, you are not passionate about it
The greatest enemy of the ambition to see Jesus worshiped in the nations is lack of focus
The Church has an apostolic calling, an apostolic mission. God has called us to the nations. We must focus, or we won’t obey.
If you live without a vision of the glory of God filling the whole earth, you are in danger of serving your own dreams of greatness, as you wait to do “the next thing” God tells you
Only those who long to broadcast His glory to the nations have the right to stay
You even dare to believe you may be given the privilege of dying to spread His fame on the earth

45. 4 Keys to Hearing God’s Voice
Habakkuk 2:1 – 2
1) Stillness
Quiet yourself so you can hear, still the mind
2) Vision
Fix your eyes on Jesus
Look for vision as you pray
Use the eyes of your heart
3) Spontaneity
Tune to flow
Recognize God’s voice as spontaneous thoughts (which light upon your mind)
4) Journaling
Write down the flow of thoughts and pictures that come to you
Peace

47. Calling / Destiny Do you know your spiritual gifts?
Are you using them?
Do you know your calling?
Do you know where your gifting intersects with your passion?
What would you do if money was not an issue?
What would you do if you knew you could not fail?
Who are you serving?
How does the Lord want to work with you and through you to change the world?
We have access to the God of the Universe (inside of us)!
He can do everything good (in the Bible, including the ministry Jesus did) through us!

48. Healing
If it is God’s will for some to remain sick for His glory, where is this class of people in the scripture?
Sickness is a curse (Dt 28:21, 22, 27, 28, 35, 59-61, Lev 26:16, 25)
The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full. Jn 10:10
The Lord may allow ‘enemies’ near us to teach us how to fight (Jdg 3:1, Ps 144;1)
Shalom; sozo
We can do all things through Christ; We have everything we need . . .; We will lay hands on the sick and they will recover; Jesus commanded us to heal the sick, cast out demons, and raise the dead
We have to learn how to cooperate with the Holy Spirit to do what the Father is doing
See (Verses & Notes)

49. Healing What Jesus did is available to us (John 14:12, 20:21b)
Healing in O.T., but new covenant is superior
He took up our infirmities and carried our diseases. Mt 8:17
Jesus showed us (the will of) the Father
How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and power, and how he went around doing good and healing all who were under the power of the devil, because God was with him. Ac 10:38
Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven
When Jesus had called the Twelve together, he gave them power and authority to drive out all demons and to cure diseases, and he sent them out to preach the kingdom of God and to heal the sick. Lk 9:1-2
Instead of bringing scripture down to our level of experience, we need to bring our level of experience up to the level in God’s word.
