Rationale
While the principles of the Word of God are timeless, ministry effectiveness must also give careful consideration to cultures and contexts. One model of ministry does not fit all people groups. We must learn to contextualize our ministry methods and models to match the needs and sensitivities of the people we are called to reach with the person God has made us into.
