A few years ago, I wrote about the potential of Kingdom citizens putting their culinary skills to use for global disciple making and church planting. We can go to the world through the stomach.
NPR recently reminded me of this potential when they did a story on an Omani cookbook written by a New Yorker. Check out the story.
Do you see the potential? Not necessarily to produce a book, but what doors could open–both in your community and across the world–if you empowered and encouraged your church members to take their regional cuisine into the highways and hedges? To teach others their way of cooking? To learn how others cook?
Now maybe those annual church cookbooks have more potential than just teaching long-term Kingdom citizens how to make another chocolate cake.

If you have not had a chance to take a look at the contents of my latest book, Apostolic Church Planting, check them out HERE. I do hope you will get a copy and share it with others.
You are right on. I’d actually hire a missionary or two with strong culinary skills to work in Uganda.
