Ein Gedicht von Lao Tsu, zitiert in The Shaping of Things to Come als Inspiration für missionale Gemeinden/Christen:
Go to the people,
Live with them,
Learn from them,
Love them.
Start with what they know,
Build with what they have,
But with the best leaders, when the work is done, the task
Accomplished,
The people will say,
We have done it ourselves.
[zitiert nach: Michael Frost/Alan Hirsch The Shaping of Things to Come, 64.]
