an unusual lady
Had the priveledge to meet with the remarkable founder of Tell Asia Ministries. LC is a 'Jackie Pullinger' type individual who gave up her comfortable western lifestyle in order to follow Gods call to reach those who have never heard about Jesus. Through her God has raised up a wholly indigenous network of house church planters which has seen over 700 churches established in the last few years.

Once again 95% of their new churches have been started as a result of a healing or deliverance. However in reviewing the health of their many churches they have discovered a need for more foundational discipling to happen and have begun a refocusing on raising up disciples primarily rather than focusing only on planting churches.

It was inspiring and encouraging hearing LCs passion for the unreached and her willingness to identify with the poor and persecuted - to become one of them. I am reminded too that our motivation to reach the lost is not born of guilt or pressure but simply as a response to the direction of the Holy Spirit; as when Paul & Barnabas were set apart and sent out from Antioch.
