Key Scripture (and some theology): Romans 15:18-20b

Dr. Winston Worrell (http://www.worldmethodist.org/evangelisminstitute.htm) also came to my church to visit and I was really taken with some scripture he shared: “For I will not venture to speak of anything except what Christ has accomplished through me to win obedience from the Gentiles, by word and deed, by the power of signs and wonders, by the power of the Spirit of God, so that from Jerusalem and as far around as Illyricum I have fully proclaimed the good news of Christ. Thus I make it my ambition to proclaim the good news.” (Romans 15:18-20b, NRSV). I will commit this scripture to memory and keep it at the center of my theology of mission to Nakura in Kenya. I also think that this confluence of word, deed, and signs really seems to parallel what Donovan was trying to do in Africa. I hope the same will be true of experience with Nakura.
