FATHERING
APOSTLES - An article by Mike Steele on apostles. "Business models,
hierarchical leadership and strategic plans do not make an apostle. It is
the Father's heart that is the core of the issue." Steele introduces

father
crying out for his sons to overtake him." - Mar02 - web site

WAVES
- "Experience God's new waves of grace in a network of house-based churches!
- We have two groups who have redefined their self-concept from being a cell
group to being a house-church based on Wolfgang Simpson's concept (http://www.waves.ca/brain/house_church.htm)…Because
of this, we have rewritten our vision statement: http://www.waves.ca/sound/mission_vision.htm.
We would like to integrate ourselves more in the house-church network. We
need guidance and lots of help.

Welcome Wagon Idea - Most of us are familiar with the Welcome Wagons in our communities. Perhaps by becoming involved in reaching out to new neighbours through the Welcome Wagon in our neighbourhoods, we could intentionally reach out to and minister to many people who by the fact that they're transitioning into our area would probably benefit from having new friends - and who knows how God might take it from there?

CHURCH SHIFT
- Toronto
Becoming the Church Beyond the Congregation -A New Way of "Church"
is Emerging...
An expression of church defined by the way people live and work rather than
one defined simply by the weekly gathering. Church that is people rather than
institution. Church that exists and is growing in every sphere of life: in
family, business, health, education, media, government, the arts and sport.

The Observatory
- Resource
"The Observatory, a research center targeting spiritual transformation,
compiled prayer and general information of most nations of the world. Researcher
Derrick Trimble also wrote prayer profiles of the nations of the so called
40/70 Window (Europe and Central Asia). An excellent resource for Christians
who want to pray in an informed way."

of a North American House Church Strategy. "We believe that there may
be a group of ordinary Christians who have been prepared to have a catalytic
effect on the Church in North America in such a way that the
'knowledge of the glory of the Lord' would greatly increase in this part of
the world." - Mar02 -web site
