The most memorable part of this chapter was right at the start. He tells a story of a church in Indonesia. Potential church leaders only graduate once they have planted a church and reached 30 new Christians. Remember that Indonesia is a majority Muslim country.
I wonder how we would go if we applied that here. I reckon there are many churches that haven't reached 30 new people in a decade - and that's in a majority Christian country.
I think it would be a culture shock. We tend to be focussed around just keep things ticking over, as if existence is the only goal.
