I live in Fort Wayne, IN (ugh for 2yrs) and am a transplant from Southern CA and a daughter church of Saddleback Church. My mentality of how I view church strategy has been influenced by being under that umbrella. Now living in this part of the country, I have figured out 2 things about church strategy, 1: people are no different anywhere you live in this vast country: they need Jesus. 2- they really are open to genuine, relational, loving people to come alongside them. My role at the church I serve at is to oversee Adult Ministries. I am constantly soaking up insight that clarifies my thoughts on ministry strategy. First of course from Jesus and then from others he guides. I found your above article to be simple and to the point, again I love simple. Simple, especially in ministry can be the avenue to break the barriers the "church" has built up, that non young Xns and ALL ages dislike. I am 52, but I love hanging with 20 something, because they keep me fresh, on my toes and offer immeasurable insight to reach their generation. With this "amo" I take it to my age group and enlighten their thinking to adapt and adopt loving these and all pre-Xns. Hope this will continue to break the cycle for these of being "fat" Xns, basically sitting in a SS class or small group year after year and that is the extent of their faith. If I sound judgemental, please forgive me, but to me time is of the essence to BE the church, with the model Jesus set for us; real, relevant and reaching. Keep the thoughts flowing, look forward to more... colleen Shaun,
