A Global Conversation
Missional Moves has only been out a couple weeks, we’re already hearing from church leaders from around the world. I love that we live in a time where a conversation with the global family of God is so accessible.
One new friend, Ali Crompton, a church leader from the other side of the pond, has been tweeting his way through Missional Moves. We’ve been chatting back and forth. He’s about halfway through the book. Here’s what stood out for him so far.
Hab 2:14 ‘it is a tsunami of transformation, where the eternal realities of heaven & earth meet’ #missionalmoves #letitflow
‘tectonic plates of life & death collided into one another..the power of death slid under rule & reign of Christ’ #missionalmoves
The resurrection is more than an escape hatch.. it was a generative event, the beginning of a new world #missionalmoves

It is better to go 30ft deep in 3 locations than 3” deep in 30 places #focus #intentional #lastingchange
