Fom an article by Shane Lems in the May/June 2011 Modern Reformation Magazine comes this quote from British theologian and missionary Lesslie Newbigin (1909-1998).
“Missions will no longer work along the stream of expanding Western power. They have to learn to go against the stream. And in this situation we shall find that the New Testament speaks to us much more than does the nineteenth century as we learn afresh what it means to bear witness to the gospel from a positionn not of strength, but of weakness.
