A few years ago I attended a workshop here in Seattle on interactive training offered by Leif Hansen of Spark Interaction.

My friend and colleague in the Missionary Church Western District, Len Sunukjian, sent me a link to an article today in Charisma magazine entitled – Discipleship is Not a Dirty Word. While I’ve never personally viewed “discipleship” as a dirty word, I agree with these statements:
When we say we are to live incarnationally, we mean we are to “put on” Jesus and represent him by focusing on being his hands and feet to our world. To live on mission. This includes but is not limited to serving the least. It might be a sending toward your neighbor or to a complete stranger in need. Either way, the focus is essentially on the church becoming missionaries to our culture.
One of the most important things we should do as followers of Jesus is to listen and obey Jesus.
I picked up a book in my hotel room tonight that is part of a Harvard Classics series published by Collier & Son over 100 years ago in 1909. It includes John Bunyan’s classic work – The Pilgrim’s Progress, and also The Lives of John Donne and George Herbert by Izaak Walton.
I visited the dentist recently. It was a routine check-up. I head there every six months or so.
I read an interesting article online that points out that the state of Washington is 45th in church membership and attendance.
Whether you are reaching a community, planting a church, or discipling a neighborhood, developing a Missional Team must be a priority!
