Sustainability in Missions

If the goal is to see a healthy church established in E3 contexts, then this task will typically take many years (language learning, Bible translation, Bible teaching, and then discipleship and church planting). As such, it is vital that the ministry of the workers be sustainable during this time. This means that all decisions, from business planning to culture and language study, must be made with this goal in mind.
