“Ralph Winter suggests that a cross-cultural team engaged in spreading the Good News is primarily a mission, not a community. In his defining article on the “two structures” of God’s redemptive purpose, he proposes that the church is a modality: it focuses on the nurture of its members. The missionary band, on the other hand, is a sodality: it exists as a mission. In this explanation, Winter helps us understand that team members should not expect from their team the same extent of nurture that is intended for a church. The team bands together because it is on a God-ordained task: to establish Jesus-centered communities where there are none.253”

“When it comes to time, you and I are rich. In fact, we’re loaded. Time doesn’t discriminate. With the two exceptions of the day you’re born and the day you die, everyone gets exactly the same amount of time every day. Think about the reverberations in your life: If the organization you’re a part of grows to ten times its current size, you won’t get a single extra hour to handle more stress. If you double the size of your family overnight, nobody is going to hand you an eighth day of the week to help you cope (although that would be super nice). If you become CEO of a Fortune 50 company, the universe will not give you a minute more to deal with the pressure. The most productive people on Earth get the same amount of time you and I get. Which also means some people are staggeringly great at handling time. And me? Well, there was room for improvement. A lot of room.”
