My upcoming April prayer letter will include letter from our WMF Argentina community sharing some next steps of partnership with our Argentine friends and leaders who serve alongside us. We are moving forward in establishing a legally recognized Argentine organizational structure, which will include a board of eight Argentine leaders. Please pray with us as we take these steps forward in partnership.
The following quote Oscar Muriu, pastor of Nairobi Chapel in Kenya, summarizes well the posture we strive to live out here in Buenos Aires.
“But as you come, come as a new-paradigm missionary. Come as a people who seek to develop bridges of healthy interdependence. Come as a people who build reciprocity into the task of missions. Come as a people who approach the cultures of the world with respect and with humility. Come as a people who are learners and not cowboys. For this century must be the century of genuine partnerships and nothing else.”
~ Oscar Muriu, “The Global Church”
(Urbana Missions Conference 2006)
To listen to the audio of the entire message that Oscar Muriu gave at the Urbana Missions Conference in 2006, click here and look for his message titled, “The Global Church.” It is worth a listen!
