I passed over the results rather quickly last night. Here is a bit more about the plans for AFM and its vision.
No structure, but an International Advisory Council. Isn't that nice. No titles, no elections, no jostling to see who is in line for what. Just get on with it.
Leaders for regions of the least evanglized world. These would be East Africa, West Africa, Southern Africa, Middle East, South Asia, U. K., Nigeria, US. We have names of several who will take the vision on.
The area of concentration will be World A, the outline of those areas where less than 50% have heard the Gospel.
A schedule of trainings for Strategy Coordinators. We listed about five for the next 12 months.
A way to report back and tell the stories of God's working in these areas through the SC approach.
Funding guidelines. This is always the diciest issue. There is heavy reliance on the HQ (read "Richmond").
These all were pursued with enthusiasm, cooperation, and interest in each person's input. The overwhelming common denominator in it all was the realization that AFM is the only Anglican agency working exclusively among the least evangelized, and we use a highly effective, non-traditional method, the Strategy Coordinator.
Pretty amazing to hear that expressed by them, but I have to concur. Glad it is being picked up and expanded.
In the meantime, I have my oysters, my wife, and my books upstairs. (Not in that order!)
