The lower the risk, the more likely we are to protect our needs for significance by dominating others, even, or especially, when we exercise that dominance in the name of Jesus. We will not accomplish significant partnerships until we risk releasing certain power we now have over structures and resources. One church for every thousand people is a goal none of us can reach alone. But significant joint ventures between partners, no matter where in the world, can bring the goal closer to reality. It will cost.
Individuality hinders our ability to build the kingdom, especially if it means our death.
