Missional

One of the most helpful articles in explaining what is meant by “Missional Churches” is by Tim Keller. The reason this article is so helpful is because 1) it gives a brief history of where the church has been in the west and where the church is going in the west. 2) The article is also very practical and helpful in teaching us how to embrace and implement missional characteristics in our lives and in our church.

We have been talking this last year about being missional. In fact, the vision statement for 2011 is for the Gathering Community Church to have fully participating members, living gospel (missional) lifestyles, resulting in a movement in the city of Portland.

So here is another helpful resource, a simple and short-video, that explains what we mean, as a church, to be missional:

In the next few days I’ll be posting a few more resources to help explain a missional lifestyle.

Also another reminder that “Ministries of Mercy,” by Tim Keller, is a free download for the month of August (just a few days left) the audio book is available for free download at http://christianaudio.com/free. Or it can be purchased from Amazon.com.

This book gives a biblical and practical framework for ministering to the poor and needy amongst us. Let’s look to Jesus as we learn how to minister to the poor and marginalized in our own neighborhoods.
