Why Indigitous? 1. God. His heart, glory and promises “Write the vision, make it plain on tablets,

This strategy greatly increased Paul’s capacity to influence hundreds and thousands, rather than merely tens and fifties.” --Close: Leading Well Across Distance and Cultures, Ken Cochrum (on Amazon late Nov. 2013)
