How GOSP4EL Create Value?

Currently I have been thinking about the role of NGO and self-sustainability. I think NGO and enterprise has to create value through their service and product in order to bring the impact to the community and society. However, NGO or enterprise generate revenue and profit only for its self-sustainability without considering the social responsibility and relevance but exploit global human resources can be an issue -- anti-social.

That apply to individual as well. Human life with one's time is limited resources. How can we make good use of our time in order to create eternal value can be an important question about personal mission for every Christian or people who believed in life after death. With the great commission and great commandment with Christian value, Glorifying God by loving other, showing His goodness and sharing Biblical teaching through testimony of Words and deeds are all important.
As Christian NGO, I think that is also important to fulfill these missions and help our fellow Christians to serve other by create value towards these goals.
I hope that churches, different NGO and enterprise concern more about their social responsibility, relevance along with their accountability and effectiveness.

As a worker in an NGO/mission, I am thinking how can GOSP4EL to help.
I am thinking direct engaging laity as volunteer adopting direct sale model to reduce the cross of the NGO/mission. One of my concerns people with political ambition may try to rebuild the tower of Babel not for God's favor. Thus, I wonder whether a flatter structure(see mw work about value and pattern of Bible translation of post-colonial context) without much offer head charge and allow more collaboration and synergy to be good steward for God's mission.

Thus, we need to ask a couple questions:

1. How can volunteers be self-sustainable as a community of learning and practices?

2. How can a volunteer community create value?

3. How can we share resources to create value?

4. What values or impact we would like to see?
