The right church math helps us reach the world. Partnering together in a unified multiplication strategy helps us to fulfill the mandate and privilege of making disciples. I am afraid that we have cheapened the idea of the global mission by applying labels like “foreign missions” and “missions support.” What if rather than writing a token check every month to a dozen missionaries around the world, we committed to making a real kingdom investment in one or two with eyes toward the eternal dividends it would pay? What if rather than just sending a little cash and a prayer we engaged globally? What if we went? What if we built relationships with others engaged in the Kingdom work in their own corner of the world? What if we switched the strategy from taking the Americanized version of church to a completely different culture and determined to partner with someone or some organization indigenous to their own context? Global Kingdom Investing requires more engagement than simply support for foreign missions. We have been given a capital cache of God’s love, mercy, grace, and imputed righteousness along with a wide variety of gifts and material resources that we are to invest both here at home and all over the world that Jesus died to save.
