Why Indigitous? 1. God. His heart, glory and promises “Write the vision, make it plain on tablets,

that the one who reads it may run… For the earth will be filled with the

knowledge of the glory of the Lord as the waters cover the sea.” Habakkuk 2: 2, 14

7 Billion people 5 Billion unchurched, 49% of whom do not know a true follower of Jesus Christ Harvest plentiful. Laborers few.

“Rapid appointment of indigenous leaders in each location minimized cultural friction by ensuring that qualified, accepted insiders handled the primary functions of leadership. This strategy greatly increased Paul’s capacity to influence hundreds and thousands, rather than merely tens and fifties.” --Close: Leading Well Across Distance and Cultures, Ken Cochrum (on Amazon late Nov. 2013)
