Oder: wenn man mit einem Ufo-Fan über Gott & die Welt gesprochen hat, könnte es sein, dass man Gott auf viel intensivere Weise dafür lobt und dankt, als wenn man das Lobpreisprogramm in einem Gottesdienst runterrasselt - sprich: die üblichen frommen Praktiken werden plötzlich mit Leben gefüllt).

A lot of what is now being touted as Missional is simply there in the word of God; it is not some post-modern invention of the 21st Century. I think that the fact that we are living now in a post-Christian culture has made us re-evaluate our past perspectives on Church as something that we "do" or as a place where we "go". This forces us to look inward and upward; fortunately God is faithful and has begun in His own way to create a feeling of dissatisfaction with the structures emerged through traditional Christendom. We are now in a place where we can more clearly see that Church is who we are and like our saviour, master and God, we are sent to participate in the work of God in the earth. We are called to the world and not to our selves, so I appreciate al that Michael Frost and others like him are saying. In Barbados in the Caribbean where I live, God too is awakening his people to this reality, Many of us, particularly those who have been in Church all our lives have grown tired of the consumerist focus of church and the creation of a Christian sub-culture which has not been successful in really changing our communities. Personally, my family and I have become more motivated to live incarnationally among the people of our villages and communities whom we aim to serve. Be encouraged and keep the good work up!

Resources for missions need assembling, harnessing and marshaling. This should be one of the successful efforts. Let the joy of the Lord continue to be your strength.
