The last of these three criteria is presumed to mean that outside financial support is usually debilitating for national churches because it imposes a danger of dependency.  Consequently, Western missionaries, their churches and their agencies have been increasingly indisposed to giving generously -- even when they are dealing with the most impoverished people living in the least evangelized cultures.  The thesis of this paper asserts that this nearly sacred formula is misunderstood and that it, therefore, is being misapplied.  We must rethink the interplay of dollars, dependency and what it means to 'do the right thing' with our money as we pursue twenty-first century missions. In re-evaluating our stewardship priorities, missionaries should be more concerned for the definite disparity of wealth that their propensity to 'buy and keep' creates than they are for the potential dangers of dependency that a decision to share might engender.  Using an interdisciplinary approach to analyze the dilemma posed by trying to keep wisdom and wealth in proper balance as we face a world full of needs, the following material attempts to answer the question whether Westerners ought to give or not to give in support of global evangelism. Encouraging maximum generosity as the path most reflective of God's heart on the matter, the author proposes a 'missionary Marshall Plan for the twenty-first century' to guide us in principle toward funding a 'war chest for world missions' with Western wealth. Reaching toward the unsaved poor, we must show that we care about their burdens by being willing to share from our bounty.  The material which follows shows us how to do so."],"rights_statement_tesim":["https://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/"],"thumbnail_path_ss":"/assets/work-a3b75da7abded620ab321410c80d102e5e2417b71c54de7ba7d4b0363da904f7.png","suppressed_bsi":false,"actionable_workflow_roles_ssim":["f6c99b2a-5c91-4444-8946-01a1837f1fd8-default-approving","f6c99b2a-5c91-4444-8946-01a1837f1fd8-default-depositing","f6c99b2a-5c91-4444-8946-01a1837f1fd8-default-managing"],"workflow_state_name_ssim":["deposited"],"member_of_collections_ssim":["Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary"],"member_of_collection_ids_ssim":["31b95ee0-a31c-43dc-8ec9-d97b30239a2d"],"visibility_ssi":"open","admin_set_tesim":["Metadata Only"],"account_cname_tesim":["rim.ir.atla.com"],"human_readable_type_tesim":["Etd"],"read_access_group_ssim":["work_editor","public"],"edit_access_group_ssim":["admin"],"edit_access_person_ssim":["ckarpinski@atla.com"],"_version_":1791132595621199872,"timestamp":"2024-02-17T08:05:53.722Z","score":1.0},{"system_create_dtsi":"2023-10-12T10:19:45Z","system_modified_dtsi":"2024-02-17T07:26:31Z","has_model_ssim":["Etd"],"id":"1d4cd80e-7ff3-4259-ba04-d97de3d82dbc","accessControl_ssim":["9d7a226f-75da-41c0-9c9a-73c280d0e088"],"depositor_ssim":["ckarpinski@atla.com"],"depositor_tesim":["ckarpinski@atla.com"],"title_tesim":["The Zacchaeus project: systemic factors and principles for church planting among the upper classes (an unreached people group) in Quito, Ecuador (Latin America)"],"date_uploaded_dtsi":"2023-10-12T10:19:45Z","date_modified_dtsi":"2024-02-16T22:59:39Z","isPartOf_ssim":["f6c99b2a-5c91-4444-8946-01a1837f1fd8"],"hasEmbargo_ssim":["3060c1be-2dc8-4ded-905b-8c7d67a44f18"],"hasLease_ssim":["d2386620-e777-47b3-b181-d4dd936adacd"],"show_pdf_viewer_tesim":["1"],"show_pdf_download_button_tesim":["1"],"institution_tesim":["Atla RIM"],"degree_tesim":["Unknown"],"degree_granting_institution_tesim":["Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary"],"advisor_tesim":["Eldin Villafañe"],"year_tesim":["2005"],"location_tesim":["Ecuador"],"resource_type_tesim":["Unknown"],"types_tesim":["Text"],"creator_tesim":["Mark Robert Searing"],"publisher_tesim":["Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary"],"subject_tesim":["Evangelistic work","Elite (Social sciences)","Church development, New"],"language_tesim":["English"],"abstract_tesim":["This thesis is a study of systemic factors and principles involved in planting churches among the upper classes in the city of Quito, Ecuador.  The complexity of reaching a group with the gospel of salvation, that up until recently had been neglected, required a new ministry paradigm.  This project was designed to understand that new ministry paradigm.  To accomplish this, Dr. Eldin Villafañe's 'hermeneutical circle paradigm' for social ethics was used.  The systemic interactions of the elements involved could be observed, evaluated and understood by asking three questions.  The first question is clarification: what is the ministry issue?  Or: why is this significant?  The various elements in the system are identified, analyzed, and placed within the greater whole in order to get context and importance of the issue (introduction and chapter one). The second question is conceptualization: how do the Bible, theological thinking, and the social sciences impact and interact with this ministry issue?  Here systemic reflection and other analysis can be brought with Scripture to establish key factors (elements) and principles necessary to support this new ministry paradigm (chapters two through four).  The third question is confrontation: what are the outcomes or implications of the new ministry paradigm?  Is further research needed?  Are there ideas that are transferable?  The results of planting churches among the upper classes flow from systemic elements that have been identified and understood (chapter five).  The idea of reaching people whom Jesus said would be extremely difficult to reach does not excuse the church from reaching them. When mission and church structure themselves theologically and socially exclude or place barriers for them to come to Christ, then the Holy Spirit must find ways to break through in a way that more accurately reflects the Kingdom of God.  The purpose of this study is to show one method that 'those who are rich in this world' can as Paul wrote to Timothy, 'take hold of the life that is truly life' (1 Timothy 6:9)."],"rights_statement_tesim":["https://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/"],"thumbnail_path_ss":"/assets/work-a3b75da7abded620ab321410c80d102e5e2417b71c54de7ba7d4b0363da904f7.png","suppressed_bsi":false,"actionable_workflow_roles_ssim":["f6c99b2a-5c91-4444-8946-01a1837f1fd8-default-approving","f6c99b2a-5c91-4444-8946-01a1837f1fd8-default-depositing","f6c99b2a-5c91-4444-8946-01a1837f1fd8-default-managing"],"workflow_state_name_ssim":["deposited"],"member_of_collections_ssim":["Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary"],"member_of_collection_ids_ssim":["31b95ee0-a31c-43dc-8ec9-d97b30239a2d"],"visibility_ssi":"open","admin_set_tesim":["Metadata Only"],"account_cname_tesim":["rim.ir.atla.com"],"human_readable_type_tesim":["Etd"],"read_access_group_ssim":["work_editor","public"],"edit_access_group_ssim":["admin"],"edit_access_person_ssim":["ckarpinski@atla.com"],"_version_":1791130122641735680,"timestamp":"2024-02-17T07:26:35.305Z","score":1.0},{"system_create_dtsi":"2023-10-12T10:19:41Z","system_modified_dtsi":"2024-02-17T08:22:28Z","has_model_ssim":["Etd"],"id":"65c4bab9-ce6b-4345-b8c6-3d7214ee69b5","accessControl_ssim":["dfc1b24c-8aba-428c-9305-056fcc599bbb"],"depositor_ssim":["ckarpinski@atla.com"],"depositor_tesim":["ckarpinski@atla.com"],"title_tesim":["A study of the Fresh Start Program in the context of the Australian society"],"date_uploaded_dtsi":"2023-10-12T10:19:39Z","date_modified_dtsi":"2024-02-17T01:06:34Z","isPartOf_ssim":["f6c99b2a-5c91-4444-8946-01a1837f1fd8"],"hasEmbargo_ssim":["c64375bb-aa39-48f7-b6b6-5b1c85405f26"],"hasLease_ssim":["cc334c9e-20f5-4c46-8895-56328e63866c"],"show_pdf_viewer_tesim":["1"],"show_pdf_download_button_tesim":["1"],"institution_tesim":["Atla RIM"],"degree_tesim":["Unknown"],"degree_granting_institution_tesim":["Denver Seminary"],"advisor_tesim":["Joan B Winfrey"],"year_tesim":["2005"],"location_tesim":["Queensland"],"resource_type_tesim":["Unknown"],"types_tesim":["Text"],"creator_tesim":["Robert L Carner"],"publisher_tesim":["Denver Seminary"],"subject_tesim":["Church history","Marriage","Remarriage","Divorce"],"language_tesim":["English"],"abstract_tesim":["This thesis is a combination of 'historical-descriptive' and 'action' research.

The project-thesis explores the presence of these characteristics in a Connecticut Congregational church.  A biblical and historical review establishes the characteristics' validity.  A literature review shows these characteristics' presence in historical Christian renewal movements.
