The Importance of Teamwork in World Missions

Matthew Cretzman serves as the founder and director of Rooftop Missions – an organization that fuels church planting movements among the persecuted and unreached. In this short clip, Matthew talks about the state of missions today, and how vital partnerships are as we seek to spread the Gospel.

Folks, I don't know if you can really grasp this, but we are at one of the most incredible, opportunistic moments in missions in all of history. I know maybe you don't grasp that, but when your talking about Koreans sending thousands of missionaries, Indians sending thousands of missionaries, other countries being involved in this. What that allows us to do is to partner together. I'm very much a believer in team. Team work. I don't think we need to keep re-inventing the wheel if there's one that already works. And the only way we are able to have an impact on men like R. Lazarus, is because we are able to partner with guys like Daniel & Nathaniel - our leaders in India. So we're able to reach them, we're able to provide help and support for guys like R. Lazarus, we're able to provide training and teaching for them. We're able to support them financially, sponsor them, and really just continue to fuel them so they can keep going to villages, and unreached people groups that we don't even have access to. So, for me, it's extremely exciting because I get to go places and see the work of God going forth that really I had no idea it even existed. Which is pretty exciting.
