Fear-power cultures may require power proof, not rational reasoning, to believe the Lordship of Christ. People must tangibly see the power of God in daily life. In the power encounter approach, missions is a spiritual battle.
we often question why we don't have more power proof like other places around the world, but do we need it? If we did as much as some of these places, then surely the God of all wisdom would provide.
