Notice the progression: As a child one speaks without understanding or thinking. In time there may be a modicum of understanding based upon experience and observation but eventually thought develops and then the process should be reversed.

In other words, at maturity one thinks until they understand. Then, and only then, do they speak.

It is time to move beyond the teenage years of Foreign Missions into adulthood. Adults allow other folks to mature and then live on their own with background support only.

you know we could use Burma as a model. I dont know if we ever actually went in there but Brother Bui who is from there, started that work by himself and it has flurished with very little help.

I think you are on to something. Spending more time finding and teaching workers from some country, then supporting them is far more effective than what we are doing now.
