Chris.
God can work amongst the Gentiles
through our Ministry. The reason why the Church is mostly ineffective in the
realm of Mission in its home locality is that the Church is either not
functioning Biblically or is competing with other Churches in this matter. Mission
field is never intended to be a “competitive market”. It has become so because
Churches are often competing with one another rather than working together. In
such circumstances local Mission becomes expensive, exhausting and a waste of
time.
