I have seen a rising number of major givers collaborating in "giving collectives." The idea is that by combining their resources and funds, they can do more. I have concerns that this is "missions as problem-solving."

Again, I understand the power of framing missions as problem-solving. It has generational appeal. But let's not lose sight of the fact that, at its core, missions is worked out as evangelism, discipleship, and planting churches.

I haven't used Apple products for years. My Folding Samsung phone is just better than any iPhone. My Windows laptop has a touch screen. Android tablets are way cheaper. But... this new CEO may signal a return to Apple making cutting edge hardware. If so... I would jump back.
