More Quotes from Missional Renaissance

As I continue to read Missional Renaissance, I find more and more quotes and statements that encourage me, give me ideas, convict me, and spur me on to the planting of Veritas. Here are a few more to wrap your brain around.

"The program-driven systems favors a culture that creates church customers, not followers of Jesus."

"The Missional Church assumes that service to others is the first step, not some later expression of spirituality."

"People often grow more in intergenerational environments."

"The Missional church ventures into the world as partners with God on his redemptive mission."


Here is also some ideas that I got from the book in regards to concrete ways of being missional through Veritas.

1. Adopt a School
2. Bless Three people this week
3. Prayer Walking
4. Prayer Booth and Prayer Boxes
5. Reduce the number of church events on the calendar so that people are free to be in the community blessing others.
6. Create uses in your current facilities that bless the community in entrepreneurial ways- think coffee shops, art galleries for local artists, concert venues for local musicians, incubator space for young businesses.
7. Get educated on community facility needs that might intersect with your facility capacity.

I will continue to post more quotes from the book as I read it. Next week I will be in Orlando for the Exponential Conference (which is a National Church planting conference). I will have my laptop so I hope to blog from the conference.
