Michael Frost is the main speaker at this church planting congress.
Just go to the link about to read about him and this whole "missional" thing.
It's not terribly complicated. This is the bible story (very abridged):
- God loves people and the world.
- God sent Jesus to love us and show us God's love.
- Jesus sent the Spirit so we can live in a love relationship with God: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
Our God is a god of mission.
His heart is mission.
We are his mission, and we are sent in his mission.
Mission always has been, always will be, the thing!
Everything falls under the canopy of mission.
It is our organizational center.
Everything flows from that.
It is wonderfully exciting.
(I'll write more on mission as the organizational center of the church, and our live, tomorrow.)
