I wanted to update you all on a great partnership that is forming between Alan Hirsch and his Australian network called FORGE and Missio.  Over the last two years, we’ve done a lot of synergized events with Alan and he’s been an incredible advocate for Missio and The Tangible Kingdom as we’ve always pointed people towards Alan’s writings and processes.  People often say, “I read Shaping of things to come/Forgotten ways, and it changed the way I think about church, but The TK  helped give a real life picture of how missional/incarnational ways of church can happen.

This constant response has moved us all to realize that the Missional/Incarnational dialogue is now becoming common place. No longer is it a fringe idea. Everyone, including multi-site/mega-church/normal church leaders are all wanting to move forward.  Thus, we’ve sensed a need to have a more unified effort to bring more people into the discussion, providing regional training options and a more comprehensive support structure to help all ends of the church spectrum.  We hope that as we join hands in this effort that many others will look to serve God’s missional movement with us.  We’ll keep you posted. As for now, I leave you with a silly picture of the masterminds (or band of knuckleheads)  of this global takeover (Hugh, Matt, Lance “shapevine” guy, and Alan)  If you look really close to the whiteboard behind us, you’ll see the secret plan to wake up the “underworld”!!!!
