Mutually Beneficial Missions Ministry
Description
Travis Janousek, the Serve Pastor at New City Church in Charlotte, NC, believes that all missions partnerships should begin with the goal of being "mutually beneficial." He shares what that means, why its important, and how a big part of that means letting go of control.
First, don’t be afraid to "chase the wild goose." Hold your plans loosely. Look for where the Holy Spirit is leading and then follow; even when it doesn’t make sense.
Second, remember that you don’t have all the answers. Mutually beneficial ministry requires humility and a willingness to listen.
And finally, look for missions partners who have shared values. You can’t develop mutually beneficial missions ministry if one side has a completely different framework for ministry.
