It’s my turn to write on the missional communities uk blog.  This is what I came up with. The post finishes with a question that I’ll ask over here too.

How do you include kids and youth in your missional community?

Thinking about the stories of Jesus, the leper and the centurion from Matthew 8.

Wherever Jesus went people were loved and suffering was defeated.
Seems that is what he trained his disciples to do as well.

Who are you calling me to love?
Where are you calling me to destroy evil?

Give me strength and courage God.

Provocative video from Mike and 3dm.  I like it.

Perhaps the situation in the UK is a bit further on from the USA in this area.  To me it seems like there are one or two really good new approaches to ordination training in this country that focus on character and competency well.  One of those is definitely the college I go to.

Thinking about Peter and Cornelius (Acts 11). God has to free Peter from his loyalty to the old ways because He is doing something new.

Where are you doing new things today God? Where am I stuck holding on to the ways of the past?

Holy Spirit lead me, May I hold on the things worth keeping, and let go of the things that hold me back. Help me catch up with what You are doing in the world. Amen.
