So you know those giant tonka trucks that haul MASSIVE amounts of dirt in building projects? The ones where the wheels are like, 20 ft tall? How do you think they get from one place to another? Driving, right? Well, what if you wanted to send one from the US to Africa? Or Russia? What do you do? You can't drive it. And there's no way that you could fit it into a plane.
Simple. You just take it apart and ship it separately.
Except... it's not so simple. You have to take apart an entire truck, and then take those pieces to the airport, ship each piece individually, and then when they land, you take them off the plane, and then you drive the individual pieces to wherever the truck needs to be, and then you have to build it back together again. But remember... each piece is MASSIVE. So we're not talking about mechanics putting things together in a shop somewhere. We're talking huge machinery needed to put these things back together. It's a crazy, labor intensive process requiring tons of work and planning. But more than anything, it requires the coordination of many people, skills, industries, and machinery.
I think being a part of a church is similar to this. We have one goal... to move people towards Christ. But it takes the coordination of so many people to get even one person to get closer to God.
What has your role been? How are you helping the ministry draw people towards Christ?
