Source: Lesslie Newbigin45 words
"Missionary fruit comes from abiding in Christ. Programs without presence produce nothing lasting; strategies without spirituality bear no fruit. The sent church must be the abiding church. Apart from Him, our mission efforts are nothing; in Him, fruit remains." — Lesslie Newbigin.
