Organic Church Planting
We are actively involved in the implementation of a new type of church expression, one which is fully compatible with this culture and adaptive to any other culture in which it may be inserted. Our hope is to teach everyday believers how to plant and lead organic church communities around the world. How this will unfold is still a mystery, but have no doubt that a plethora of ideas are afoot, just waiting for the right timing. To read more click the “Organic Church Movement” link in the right-hand column.
Please don’t hesitate to get in touch with us if you’re curious about what we feel God is doing with His church today. We LOVE to explain these ideas, tell stories and answer any questions you might have about simple church (see the bottom of this page for contact options). Read More…
Youth With A Mission
What is YWAM? Youth With A Mission is a global, Christian organization seeking to primarily train young adults to “know God and make Him known.” YWAM has over 800 operating bases in 145 countries. Involvement with this organization is broad, but the most common way of participating is by attending a six-month Discipleship Training School (DTS). These schools are usually made up of students from all over the world, ranging in age from about 17-30 (there are schools for older adults and families as well).
The typical DTS is structured into two phases—lecture phase involves living on a YWAM base and attending classes for three months, while the outreach phase involves serving on a three-month mission trip that is typically in another area of the world. Students cover a variety of topics from international speakers during the lecture phase before going out and putting feet to their knowledge. We both attended YWAM schools in New Zealand and now, years later, will be helping lead. Read More…
SMALLvolution
The SMALLvolution is the brainchild of Noah Cremisino and Desi Starr. To summarize it would be to over-simply the scope and hopes we have for it so, for now, just try to imagine if every follower of Christ was empowered to start an organic faith community in their neighborhood. Imagine the movement the Kingdom of God would experience if this weren’t only possible, but encouraged. SMALLvolution will take this simple and fully realistic idea and develop it into something that is not just theory, but tangible and practically doable. As a website and ministry tool it is currently in the earliest, embryonic stages but we hope to take it live in the next few months. Stay tuned. Read More…
