The Unassuming Apostle: Mr. Miyagi 

 

Mr. Miyagi from "The Karate Kid" redefines the concept of an apostle. 

 

This quiet handyman embodies a profound apostolic approach that transcends martial arts and offers valuable lessons for equipping the saints for ministry works.

 

Firstly, Mr. Miyagi's approach to discipleship is unique. He understands the complexity of discipleship and prioritizes understanding his disciples. He sees beyond Daniel's initial rage, recognizing a lost soul yearning for direction. Unlike a traditional apostle who might want a stage and a microphone, Mr. Miyagi tailors his message. He uses seemingly mundane tasks like sanding and painting to build a foundation of discipline and focus, a contrast that intrigues him. 

 

Secondly, Mr. Miyagi emphasizes balance. A true apostle doesn't just preach; they guide a holistic transformation. Mr. Miyagi doesn't just train Daniel physically; he imparts valuable life lessons about patience, respect, and self-control. He recognizes that power without love can be destructive, just like a martial artist focusing only on offense.

 

Thirdly, Mr. Miyagi's approach is about more than just delivering pronouncements; it's about cultivating confidence and problem-solving skills. The iconic 'wax on, wax off' exercise, initially seeming nonsensical, not only hones muscle memory but also teaches valuable lessons about dedication and perseverance. By allowing Daniel to discover the meaning behind the movements, Mr. Miyagi empowers him to become his own teacher, instilling a sense of hope for personal growth.

 

Finally, Mr. Miyagi embodies an apostolic life. He lives the values he imparts, demonstrating unwavering patience, resilience, and respect in the face of adversity. Witnessing this firsthand leaves a far more profound impact on Daniel than any spoken word.

 

Mr. Miyagi's apostolic approach may be unconventional, but its effectiveness is undeniable. He prioritizes understanding, empowers his disciples, and leads by example. His quiet wisdom offers a refreshing counterpoint to the stereotypical loud, domineering apostle, proving that spreading knowledge and fostering growth can be done subtly, patiently, and, ultimately, incredibly successfully.
