Striking the Match: How God Is Using Ordinary People to Change the World Through Short-Term Missions

Church planting movements are similar to wildfires in that both have a small beginning but given the right conditions, they rage and spread to affect everything around them. Spiritually speaking, the goal of any missionary should be to start a "wildfire" that literally changes the cultural landscape of the target area. Most of the time, however, wildfires do not just happen. There must be a source or a catalytic event. In His sovereign grace, the LORD often chooses to use ordinary people as fire starters. e3 Partners Ministries is built upon the premise that God can and does use ordinary people just like you and me to strike the match and change the world. ---- About the Author: George G.
