Together

We Navigators have tended to have a “wind them up and let them go” attitude toward those we disciple.

Dispossessing

Back in the early 1980’s, Renee and I embraced the posture of going overseas as missionaries unless God called us to stay home.

Orthodox Disciples

I sat down for lunch with an Orthodox monk a few years ago, and before we even ordered he said, “I had some Navigators as roommates in college.

Partners

I love how Paul thought about those who were partnering with his team in funding: “For the ministry of this service is not only fully supplying the needs of the saints but is also flowing through many thanksgivings to God…. They will glorify God for your obedience….” (2 Corinthians 9:10-14)

Spirit-Led Strategic Planning

It’s common for Christians to begin a planning meeting with prayer, then proceed with planning with little to no awareness of the Holy Spirit’s promptings or checks, then close the meeting with prayer.

Synergy

I’ve never seen so much synergy in our International Executive Team as I’m seeing this year.

Focus, Alignment & Energy

I love the team of Navigator Middle Eastern leaders that launched into leadership of our work in that region a year ago.

Together Among The Lost

Why are the “laborers” not laboring? We Navigators are called to advance the Gospel into the nations through spiritual generations of laborers living and discipling among the lost.

We Must Do Better

Why are fewer believers going out as cross-cultural missionaries? That question marked a recent gathering of the leaders of major missions organizations.

Weeping

I wept during the first leg of my flight home from the Middle East.

Strengthening Souls

Toward the end of their first whirlwind missionary campaign, Paul and Barnabas circled back through what is now Albania and Turkey “strengthening the souls of the disciples, encouraging them to continue in the faith and saying, ‘Through many tribulations we must enter the kingdom of God.’” (Acts 14:22)

Lighthouses

On the wall facing my desk at home there is a famous photo of lighthouse about to be engulfed by towering waves. But it stands firm, a beacon in the darkness.
