With this episode we begin a look at the May/June edition of FrontLIne, which is on the theme, “The Future of Missions.”
We are getting a few interviews together but will be posting on two week intervals at the moment. Some of our writers are traveling and our conversations with them will be delayed.
Our first interview is with veteran missionary, Glen Galbraith. He spent around twenty years in Britain in a church planting ministry. He is now on Baptist Mid-Mission’s recruitment team. I was very pleased to meet him online, as we have several personal connections and some similar ministry experience.
Glen’s article is called, “Missions: Are We Doing It Right?” The article is not meant to pontificate about new and improved methods. Rather, it is meant to ask questions that we should all ask about our own ministries for the Lord. Times change and cultures differ and we need to find ways to get out God’s word in the culture in which we find ourselves. We aren’t simply pragmatists, looking for “what works.” The main thing we want in ministry is to get a hearing for the gospel. The Holy Spirit can take care of the rest. Sometimes our biases, the “way we’ve always done it,” can get in the way of getting that hearing. So, asking the question, “Are we doing it right?” helps us to adjust as our surroundings and culture changes.
Well, that’s enough from me. Let me remind you that Glen’s article is available on our Substack right away for paying subscribers. We have previews for everyone else. I hope you will join with us and support the ministry of the FBFI by becoming a paying subscriber.
