This week I met with three pastors from three different churches, one baptist and two mennonite. For two hours we talked about what the next move of God might look like. It is a mystery how our relationship with God is so good we wouldn’t trade it for anything, but how can we effectively help unbelievers experience our reality?
One of our challenges is how do we reach out into lostness with the good news? Roy Moran, who wrote Spent Matches, says that only rarely to Christian start a disciple making movement first among themselves, and then take it to the lost. Movements of people towards God almost always starts among the lost.
Movements?
Moran explained that “In just one of the more than one hundred movements in the last twenty years, more than two million people have been baptized, and eighty thousand churches have been planted” (p. 57). Imagine starting people movements like this in Canada, the United States, Brazil, and South America.
What would you be willing to do if you knew you could be part of reaching a harvest like this?
