That's Quotable: Rick McKinley

"Every town has its places where heaven can show up and the town will welcome it, because heaven's response is much better than the evil that is hurting those to whom we go...'Going' implies that we go somewhere new, to someone not like us, to some culture or subculture where we might not feel comfortable or knowledgeable or welcome. Certainly this means that the sent ones need to become great students and listeners if we want to represent the kingdom well and for the long haul."

Rick McKinley, Lead Pastor of Imago Dei in Portland, OR, in his book This Beautiful Mess.
