Yurt
Like most sane people, I have a dream. I want to one day live on a piece of property about 20-30 acres in the country with a bush lot. I want to grow most of my food in a hand tilled garden, I want to have a wind tower to supply all my power. I want to work as a self supported missionary, in northern Canada. And something that I have recently added to my dream is something that may seem a little odd. The contraption is called a yurt, when I first heard of them I only knew them as a thing taht Attila the Hun had lived in, but it is a legit living space here in Canada. The yurt is a circular structure that can be moved ina few days if the mood takes you, can be added to for additional size, as more children come along. and serves as a house does. Of course to accomplish living in one of these one must do away with things that are not needed for living. Well one can dream anyhow.

Interesting. I was wondering what you mean by self-supporting missionary. I assume you mean financially self-supporting. How does that fit in with the New Testament model of missionaries being sent out by a local church? Since you would not require the financial support, would you still have a "sending church?"
ReplyDeleteConsider perhaps Paul, when he stayed with Aquila and his wife, he worked so that all of his support wasn't from others.
ReplyDeletedo you think i meant that i don't want a sending church?
I am all about the yurts... every single member of my family, I kid you not, has built their own house. So I feel some sort of pressure... but I could just build a yurt! And go wherever the wind takes me!
ReplyDeleteYou should talk to Dave Young. He spoke in chapel last semester. He lives in a yurt. :)
It actually never crossed my mind one way or another if you "wanted" a sending church. I just wanted to know how that would work.
ReplyDeleteah yes i see.
