Over the mountain pass and under through the trees in the valley.

There are many ways we can look at the various ways to approach bringing the gospel of Jesus over to those under the shade of some sticks.

There is however some great wisdom in allowing some discretion in the approach to the mission.

Quality over quantity
It is not about the number that you reach, it is about the quality of the moment. We must remember that God absolutely did not like it when King David numbered those in Israel and there were consequences to the attempt to focus on the numbers. It is about the focus on the circumstances and the processes of how to be successful in any given situation more that the sheer number of those that were involved. Remember Gideon and his army of 300 men overcame an army of over 130,000 Midianites.

Availability over Capability
God is the winning side. If God is on your side, it does not matter the size of the force that is against you. If you place yourself in a position for God to utilize you, that is what matters. God does not need the best of the best of the best, no sir or ma’am. The way He operates is to use those that make themself available to be used.

God will use us for His glory in great and mighty ways when we set our attention to utilizing our self to advance his mission and not our mission. Our mission should be His mission. We must attend to bring the gospel of Jesus Christ through repentance, baptism, and a renewed Spirit filled life with new purpose to those who need it.
