Paul reveals his strategy: 'It has always been my ambition to preach the gospel where Christ was not known, so that I would not be building on someone else's foundation.' He's seeking frontier work, not institutional comfort.
I'm a church planter. I leave established churches to plant in neighborhoods nobody else wants to touch. The work is harder. The resources are fewer. But the gospel hasn't been built here. There's open ground. That's where I'm called.
Paul's ambition shifted my understanding of what 'success' means. It's not having the biggest church. It's reaching places nobody else is reaching. It's taking risks on communities that seem hopeless. That takes a different kind of faith. But it's where the actual kingdom growth happens.
