If we are to use "every possible exertion to introduce the gospel amongst" the most unreached, then that necessarily involves being the best stewards possible of the resources God places into our hands with which to accomplish the task. And, coming to an agreement with others on what is actually the best stewardship can prove to be an extremely complicated endeavor. However, in God's economy, obedience and faithfulness are not always measured in strict "bang for your bucks" calculations. <abbr><em>David Rogerss last blog post..<a href="http://loveeachstone.blogspot.com/2008/07/ray-ortlund-emotional-tilt-of-your.html" rel="nofollow">Ray Ortlund: "The Emotional Tilt of your Heart"</a></abbr></em> Art,

If everyone within the church is aware of the needs and the commands, and what they're gifted to do, then the job will be done. Whether via something like the IMB, or a local church obeying the command to go. In theory, I think the IMB could do the job more efficiently, or at least could in the past, but I also think they've built a bureaucracy and a hierarchy that would greatly disappoint Mr. Carey. Myself, I've been to Jamaica (many times), Haiti, Nassau, Russia, Latvia, and a half-dozen or so states on mission trips. I wouldn't take anything for what they mean to me. <abbr><em>Bob Clevelands last blog post..<a href="http://mightyfowl.blogspot.com/2008/09/what-was-jesus-favorite.html" rel="nofollow">What Was Jesus' Favorite __________ ?</a></abbr></em> “The church” is commanded to go.
