This third question is important! In a very pragmatic way, this question will determine your true intent. Let’s review those questions again:
- What is your “why”?
- How will you create a culture of diversity?
- What is your leadership development strategy?
Let me explain the statement I made above – this question will determine your true intent.
If you are serious about having leaders who are from diverse ethnic backgrounds:
- you will make disciples who navigate the challenges associated with crossing ethnic boundaries in your community
- you will attract emerging leaders of diverse ethnic backgrounds
- you will plant multi-ethnic churches
Each of these deserves an entire blog series. However, if you are curious and interested in taking the next step to either plant or develop multi-ethnic ministry in an established church, I would like to invite you to an upcoming event. Let me reiterate – my intent is to challenge church leaders to consider a the strategic missiological teaching on the phrase – make disciples of all the nations (panta ta ethne). I am expanding on this strategy and contextualizing it to the church in the West.
