Jesus himself had 12 partners, three special ones and one beloved disciple. He sent his disciples out two by two in their mission efforts. This is God's design, summarized in the words, "Don't go alone." I thank God for Diane, my partner in life and ministry, as well as others who have come along side of me in each realm. Fellow pastors and friends, church leaders and members, teachers and trainers have all helped me do whatever good I have done. As I've said many times before, "It is not good for the man to be alone." (cf. Genesis 2:18) That's true in life as well as in mission.
