Christ followers, under the power of the Holy Spirit, will tell everyone about Him. (Acts 1:8)
Every Christian is called to be on mission for the sake of the Gospel. His call may vary from person to person; however, we are all called and commissioned to go into all the world and proclaim the Gospel. Being a Christian is not just about who we are, (or Who’s we are), but also... Continue Reading →
From time to time as I help churches develop their missions strategy that inevitably should involve church planting, the question is asked: "Do we need more new churches or for our existing churches to become healthier?

Matthew 22:36-39 – “Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?” 37 And he said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. 38 This is the great and first commandment. 39 And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” This is one...

When Jesus offers those famous final words to his disciples on that mountaintop in Galilee, he has the end goal in mind—transformation, that is, mature disciples. Jesus’s command in the Great Commission is to “make disciples of all nations” (Matt 28:19). The goal of the Great Commission is faithful Jesus followers. Where the gospels end... Continue Reading →
I watch as an older man stands in front of his bombed-out house. All of his memories, the small earthly things that give us comfort, his entire history is scattered.

God has always called His people to make a difference. God has always been a “sending God” where we are called to be sent. We find all through Scripture, and especially in the life of Jeremiah the prophet of being called and sent by God. As God is calling Jeremiah, He points out to Jeremiah... Continue Reading →
