Thank you for sharing this effective way to make new relationships. Church and kingdom growth always happens through relationships. Instead of waiting for people to show-up at church this is a great way to be the church. This is also an effective way to model effective ministry for those who show-up on Sunday. Thanks!
It is possible that a church that is closing it's doors might not be declining but rather thriving. Thriving, because they have closed the doors and left the building so they can be the church in their neighborhood and their city. It would be most enjoyable to coach a church that is committed to be the presence of Jesus outside their doors.
Thank you, Amy. You are right on target here. I appreciate your comment about "various stages of discipleship". Ultimately, disciples is the only thing that counts, because making disciples is the only task that Jesus authorized us to do. On a related issue, we record how many people have come into the church through evangelism. We should also ask a question like this - How many people who came into your church through evangelism three years ago are now demonstrating that are truly committed to following Jesus? Thanks, Amy
Aaron, Victory Point Ministries in Holland is also transitioning to Missional communities. I would enjoy meeting you for coffeE to talk about that. In brief, VPM is using some tools provided by Mike Breen with 3DM. 616 218-8707.

We have previously used the name, Blessings to Share. This intentionally includes more than just money.
