In Tom Robert's latest installment in his In Search of the Emerging Church series, he proclaimed that Laypeople are the future of mission work. (BTW Tom has another installment coming in the July 23 print issue.)
If anyone needs more proof than Tom Robert's word on that, here is more evidence: Abuse Victim Becomes Trained Advocate. It is an inspiring story of one (lay) woman making a big difference.
