Hi James, it is great to be here. I am the pastor of a traditional Baptist church but I have grown tired of the lack of connection with the community and the stance on "seperation." I am looking to connect in a missional/incarnational way. I have started 2 communities at my church and am looking for some friends and ideas.
Hi James. We are near the end of a two year mission study for our congregation. I went to a missional church conference back in November in San Francisco, and became interested in the missional church model for our congregation. Our two church leader groups are studying A Field Guide for the Missional Congregation by Rick Rouse and Craig Van Gelder. We hope to have a new vision and mission statement crafted by early fall after we complete the book, and some new ideas on reaching out to the world in Christ's name. Our congregation is holding its own, but is in need of reaching out to an un churched, "Spiritual but not religious" community.Our congregation is getting older, and we need to re do church, so that there will be a church here in 25 years:)
Hello Sir, I met Brother Jayaraj today morning in Hyderabad where he is running weekly classes yes he is busy in translating them . we shared about our works . thanks for introducing him to me . he also promised me to give me story of english parts .
Thank you for the warm welcome! I just want to learn what I can. I am not in a missional church now, but am praying for one. Trusting He will bring along some folks who also want that, in His timing!
New Community Church is a multi-racial church in rural Georgia with a clear missional focus. We are a worshipping community on a mission, seeking to add value to our community of LaGrange as we serve Jesus together. Everything we're doing is a bit out of the box for our area so we're always looking for connections outside of our box.
Greetings Brother James . Thanks for giving me this opportunity to be one of your friends and Brother through your missional website. it is very interesting as going through pages..
every content in this site is very useful to me and lessons to be useful to teach others. thank you .
It was good to see you! Next time bring the family, right? We're members of CT Valley Church of Christ in Windsor, CT (the town between Hartford and Bradley Airport. You probably drove past it on the way to West Springfield).
Hey bro. Thanks for the welcome. I have a long story... I have pastored 2 churches, N MO and S GA. Currently, I am back in practice (chiropractic physician) and traveling some to minister: until the Lord gives us direction for the next step. We have transitioned from the traditional mindset of church to the more missional concepts. I am quite familiar with Liberty MO. Spent many hours in KC.
Hi James! Tonight I attended a Bible Study class at work tonight. The young man who had the scripture & lesson was reading about being predestined. His scripture was take form Paul's book to the Ephesians, Chapter 1:5. He believes God chooses some people to be saved and chooses others to be condemned! His view was very different than mine. He got very upset with all us who didn't agree with him! I would like to know your understanding of this verse and the subject of predestination. Thank you!
This is an amazing resource! Very excited about all the opportunities and overwhelmed by what so many people are doing already. I'll work on finding a pic to upload. Thanks!!
James, how are you and your family doing? How are things going at HP? Keep preaching the word and making disciples Brother. God bless. Grace and Peace.
In response to your question, DeYoung and Gilbert do not reject social justice as being a part of mission.
-p. 21 "We are concerned that good behaviors are sometimes commended but in the wrong categories. For example, many good deeds are promoted under the term social justice, when we thing "loving your neighbor" is often a better category...
Chapter 6 is entitled "Making Sense of Social Justice" and is 20 pages of dealing with texts like Lev. 19:9-18, Lev. 25, Isa. 1, Isa. 58, Jer. 22, Amos 5, Micah 6:8, Mt. 25:31-46, Lk. 10:25-37, Lk 16:19-31, 2 Cor. 8-9and James 1, 2, 5.
Chapter 7, deals with the application of the doctrines of chapter 6, including helpful reminders like "Appropriate the Concept of Moral Proximity": The closer the need, the greater the moral obligation to help (2 Cor. 8-9, Gal. 610; 1 tim. 5:8, 1 Jn. 3:17)
It would be hard to describe the " missional conversation ". Most of the conversations are like trying to grab a cloud. It has been so individually defined, that it is hard to classify.
Whatever you have online (your dissertation, an article about your research, a summary, etc.), I'd love to read. It sounds like your research is quite relevant for where we're at.

Everton is an independent evangelical Church.
It would be hard to describe the " missional conversation ". Most of the conversations are like trying to grab a cloud. It has been so individually defined, that it is hard to classify.
Hi James:
I am a Pastor in Everton ON. I just got a copy of "The Road to Missional" from Baker for review. Earlier I reviewed: "What Is the Mission of the Church? by Kevin DeYoung. @http://www.librarything.com/work/11652039/reviews/79460956.
It was an excellent dialogue on "Mission", and worth a read.
