I think what Bishop Cray adds to the mix is extremely helpful for me.
His sequence, which is essentially the same as Ryan's church planting procedure, is great. I need to let go of all my preconceived ideas about what I need to be doing. I know God wants me to live missionally. I know I need to align myself with God's mission in the world. I now need to let God show me how I am to be involved.
I'm a bit hesitant, honestly. I fear God will send me to a culture I do not fit in, but why would He do that? Why would He make me a certain way, with certain interests and talents, and then put me in a place where those interests and talents are worthless? I don't believe God will do that. I trust Him to send me to an appropriate place. I trust the life He wants for me to be better than the life I want for myself.
And now it's time to begin to listen.
