Infuse Missional Project – Train the Trainer Event
If you read my
last post you know that I’m in Los Angeles right now just wrapping up a
training module on equipping people to teach the infuse Missional Project. It is a intensive first step for those
interested in discovering how they fit in Western culture mission. The training went fantastic!
One of the rollouts is happening in Spokane beginning next
week. I’m so excited about this material.
You can find out how you can get involved by dropping me a comment on
this post. I’ll get back to you
promptly.

The Church as its True Self – Alan Hirsch
"When the church is in mission, it is the true church. The church itself is not only a product of
that mission but is obligated and destined to extend it by whatever means possible. The mission of God flows directly through every believer and every community of faith that adheres to Jesus. To obstruct this is to block God's purposes in and through his people."
