Ministry isn’t a competition. We need one another more than we realize—and the real battle isn’t between us, but against the enemy of our souls. Let’s pursue faithfulness, not comparison.
Faithful ministry requires more humility than we often realize.
There is a mutual need—a shared dependence we have on one another. One of the enduring problems in missions is the assumption that we (missionaries) are the experts and that others simply need what we have to offer, rather than recognizing that we ourselves have needs as well.
There is a temptation to think that we don’t need them; they need us. But healthy relationships are marked by interdependence, not independence or superiority.
There is also the danger of being swept up in a competitive spirit. This is often unintentional, yet it reveals the sobering reality of our remaining sin.
