"We were blessed every step of the way as we prayed and marvelled at God's hand in the midst of darkness. It is amazing to see and hear what God is doing in places that we know very little about or label as too hard to reach. We simply underestimate the power of the Gospel. Sometimes, what the Father wants from us is simply to go and live among people who do not know him, making our living and raising our families, living out faithful lives of prayer and service. Into this he will bring relationships with others who need him, those with life's problems with no answers. We become his witnesses. We must be intentional in how we speak for Christ and make our lives living testimonies. However, it is not in programmed, public typical western church approaches that we will reach these teeming billions. It is in simple lifestyles that are filled with grace and faith that flow from every pore."
From the June/July 2006 missionary report (Dan and Brenda McVey) speaking about early efforts in the UAE. I think there are insights for US missionary efforts as well.
