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

What if I told you that the gospel if so big you could pull the transformation & healing of the entire cosmos out of it? #missionalmoves #BOOM

Jesus created the church for the universal mission of making disciples in all nations & manifesting the Kingdom in all the earth #missionalmoves

“Mission as specialisation is one of the most powerful ideas suppressing the mission if Jesus in the church today” #missionalmoves

Mission is the sweeping force that runs through everything we are and all that we do’  #missionalmoves

‘God is building a family, a global family that will join him in the healing of the world’  #missionalmoves

The church was never designed to be a fortress for the righteous but a flood of revolutionaries into every dark place #missionalmoves

‘God uses the small and powerless to uproot the powerful and defeat the giants.’ #missionalmoves

God will take and use bottom-up, intentional, strategic, small interventions to make a huge impact’  #missionalmoves

Jesus came to train fleets of x-wing pilots to take down the Death Stars of our day’  #missionalmoves #starwars

We need to remember that each community & every person in that community has God-given resources’ #missionalmoves

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

This ltd focus gives us great liberty to invest in ideas & opportunities with laserlike, permanent, indelible impact on places’ #missionalmoves

‘Many put quantity first in their mission effort & never get the quality they want. Activity & results are not the same thing’ #missionalmoves

‘we create our own monsters, and once we’ve created them, we must deal with them’  #missionalmoves #frankenstein

‘Dependency does not lead to growth’ #missionalmoves

By the way, Leadership Network is giving away a free copy of Missional Moves today.  Get in on it here

Thanks, Ali…especially for the #BOOM
