Ek sien onder andere die volgende by Tim Stevens wat die Q1 geleentheid bygewoon het en ‘n opsomming aanbied van wat Alan Hirsch te sê gehad het in sy 18 minute:
A missionary mindset should be extractional as well as attractional. That is, we go to the culture, not just expect them to come to us.
In a survey in post-Christian Australia that people gave thumbs-up to God, Jesus and Spirituality…but bad marks to the Church.
Problem: 40% of Americans are attracted to the “contemporary church growth model” but 90% of all church plants are pursuing that model. That is a missional problem. We need innovative new ideas for reaching the other 60%.
Het ons al opgehou met die rondskuif van gelowiges tussen bestaande kerke en “die ander” bereik? En weet ons hoe? Ek reken nie naastenby nie…
