If we get evangelism, discipleship, and community formation wrong in church, what are some of the problems we see downstream?

(I'm writing an article for next week on this...)

[Jonny Pollock @jonnypollock]

About halfway through so far, but @toddwilson's latest book is an incredible insight into the church growth movement, and the culture that is still with us. What's also great is that you can grab a free copy here: https://t.co/cxMneLdozE

The end of a process, but hopefully the start of a series of conversations... [Link in Comments]

@LittleLauraMcK In some ways, it has really encouraged us as a church to think about what's next!

[Jonny Pollock @jonnypollock]

We sent off some folks to plant a church yesterday in a town near us… such a blessing to ‘lose’ people like this as a small church!

Church planting can be challenging, but we were never meant to do it alone. Join us as pastors, planters, and Acts 29 leaders from around the world gather online to pray for church planting together. As a network on mission, we are strengthened in moments like this as we encourage one another to persevere on mission in making disciples and planting churches worldwide.

@DavyEllison @Logos I've found @Logos to be really great at guidance and new features. Plus, it might not be a bad idea to get some of your writing on there.
Hey @Logos, Davy is a really accomplished theological academic and author with some fantastic work in the OT!

We've got no food, we've got no jobs, our pet's heads are fallin' off...

@LittleLauraMcK It's been a 'fear' about the mapping. If it just helps us to tell 'sadder' stories about the needs in Ireland, then it is a failed project.

[Jonny Pollock @jonnypollock]

It is becoming quite obvious that we as Christians are becoming very adept at pointing out problems and voicing our convictions... I think at this stage we need to plan out and live out how we are going to 'do' something in light of our convictions...

[Jonny Pollock @jonnypollock]

@LittleLauraMcK Ha! Great minds once again! It's been something I've been noodling on for a bit now. We have great ideas and intentions, but unless we see a clear pathway for how they work out, it'll never work into a repeatable culture.

[Jonny Pollock @jonnypollock]

Since I've been working on the Irish Church Map, I've had a few conversations with folks who are thinking through becoming church planting churches! God is so good!

[Jonny Pollock @jonnypollock]

@ChrisHowles Thanks so much Chris!

[Jonny Pollock @jonnypollock]

@LittleLauraMcK Awww Laura - thanks for the kind words! I'm going to celebrate by eating BBQ and getting sunburned...well, because I'm Irish! 😂

The Irish Church Map is live! I’ll share reflections in the coming weeks, but for now: have a look, send corrections, and ask questions... Please share!
