    Wow, Jonathan, you've helped bring to light some amazing topics this week. I'm going thru a Perspectives class right now, and so often the smallest seed of ministry with the right identity in Christ can show amazing fruit (sometimes hundreds of years later), legitimizing Skye's points. One specific example that Dr. Paul Pierson from Fuller brought up was by a reformer named John Huss, whose death in the early 1400s (quite a bit before Luther) hundreds of years later influenced the Unity of the Brethren in 1722 and the Moravian Pentecost of 1727, which was a catalyst for Westley and Carey, whose movements can hardly be overestimated. It's like the starfish all over the beach. If you know your legitimacy in Christ, even though a hundred out of 10,000 are thrown back in the ocean, those 100 know Christ's love.
