hi i'm desi and this is my little blog

Alan Hirsch talks about what he says is the DNA of The Church As A Movement:

6 Elements:

1: The Centerpiece of it All: Jesus is Lord. Everything revolves around this.

2.Discipleship/Disciplemaking: How the believer lives out the Lordship of Christ.

3.Missional/Incarnational Impulse: God is the Missionary God and we are a sent people, He sends us among people who need Him to show Him there.

4:Apostolic Environment: we must have missional ministry to have missional churches

5: Organic Systems: Decentralized, every member has the DNA of the whole, every follower of Jesus has the potential in them to do all that God puts in their heart for the advancement of the Mission of Jesus.

6: Communitas, Not Just Community: It is community forged together through common mission and the struggle around this, not just being together but being together on Mission.

What do you think?

Movements are like this. They are grassroots, often underground, and they start with crazy people who are willing to believe in the impossible. Movements never start in corporate offices with executives drawing up a master plan…if we truly want to see the world changed, we must begin as a band of madmen, welcoming other crazy people who want to be a part of something bigger than themselves.
