There is a pretty cool interview in Leadership with Oscar Miriu (read here), who was one of the more interesting/bold Urbana speakers this year(hear his talk here titled "The Global Church). It's a worthwhile read and not only raises for me the question of the place of American short term missions/missions in the world today, but makes me wonder if we as an American church are ready to embrace what the majority of the World Church currently things, faces and has the faith to put into action.
