"Where teams go in with broad, multiple goals, having only a vague notion of how to get there. . . and conflicting views on strategy within the team. . . then usually there are little or no results. When you see a church among an unreached people group, it's like finding a turtle on a fence post: Clear intentionality from an outside party was involved."
