    Give a man a fish, and he eats for a day. Teach a man to fish and he eats for a lifetime.

    Many well-meaning benevolent programs become never-ending support programs. Mission points are the same. When we provide support to mission congregations without an exit strategy, we tie ourselves to the fledgling congregation indefinitely. The new church never matures, but is always dependent.

    The truth expressed in this article has application in many other areas as well.
