Swarmishly translating evangelistic materials
Andre Yee recently brought his ministry, Gospel Translations, to my attention. This is a great case study of a swarm having a Kingdom impact.

Hunger: Approximately 850 million people go to bed hungry every night and search for creative ways to ignore their discomfort. [page 25] 2.

Resilient Communities: Transforming the World Step-by-Step
Resilient Communities are one of the goals of mission.

So we know that Jesus came to forgive, rescue and heal the lost as well [...]
