After
this, the Lord Jesus identified seventy others. Then, He sent them out two by
two, to arrive before Him into every city and every place He would come. (Luke
10:1)
Jesus sent these people out with very
detailed instructions. He gave them a very specific process to follow in their
work. He gave them actions that would let them live their way into greater
understanding of His gospel, His mission, and the Kingdom of God. These
practices are preparing them to live their faith in Him.
The practices, processes, and detailed
instructions for not only what the people of your community will do, but also
how they will do the work and how they will relate to each other, and why they
are doing what they do – all of that – becomes part of your community’s
culture. As your people live their way into greater understanding, much of it
will seem to happen unconsciously – almost from habit. But, you must understand
that it is your hard work in obedience to the vision God has given you that
will create the environment where it occurs.
Ask God to give you the whats, whoms, and
all the whens and hows you will communicate as you send your people out.
