I'm Just Wondering... how the gap left by the challenging brilliance of Dr Ralph Winter will be filled...
Dr Winter, one of my personal sources of inspiration and challenge as a missionary Christian, went HOME to Heaven on May 20th.
I know he has fought some tremendous health issues for years. Word is that he passed peacefully, with his family at his side
The US Center for World Missions ministry he built is mourning his loss, but rejoicing in his home-going.
Dr Winter was willing to put out there controversial and challenging ideas about our contemporary mission movement. He was willing to embrace the complexities and wade into the unpopular ideas that were outside the currently 'politically correct' church-ey way of framing and thinking things. My personal times with him were noting less than exciting; he was one of the few clear-thinking, world-class minds in the modern mission movement.
Dr Ralph, you will be missed.
