Hi All, sorry for the lack of communication lately. I do however, have an excuse.  Matt and I have been working the last six months to provide the most practical tools we can to help churches find their missional mojo.

Missio is pleased to announce that we have a new website committed to resource the church.  Whether you are a church planter, small group leader or pastor hoping to grab some friends and engage the culture with the gospel, we want to help you begin and make the kingdom tangible for yourself and those you care about the most.

If you’ve been reading The Tangible Kingdom or AND you may not yet know about the TK Primer.

This resource is unique in that it combines a spiritual formation process that is deeply integrated with community and missional/incarnational living practices.  The resources has been available for 18 months and over 18,000 have been used and we’re hearing great stories.

The TK Primer is the bridge between the two books, but now we’re also providing a system of videos and other tools that will help you explain the WHY, WHAT, and HOW of incarnational community.  Everything is FREE!  In addition, we’re also providing a special video for pastor to help you think through how to begin a movement of incarnational communities in your church as well as how to transition small groups into a more missionary-like community.

Simply go to www.missio.us register, and click on “training” and you’ll find all you need.

TWO other ways, Missio hopes to serve God’s missional movement.

First, is what we call the MCAP.  (Missional Community Apprenticship Practicum) which is geared for church planters who want to start churches from the culture.  All MCAP planters will be coached by Hugh, Matt, and other Missio team members who have modeled true missional church planting pratices.

Secondly, Missio is going back to face-to face training for pastors called Missio Intensives. These two-day trainings will be based around the concepts of AND which is designed to help any church, of any size or form, find a balance between the gathered and scattered church. Use the Missio Intensives as your once a year “recalibration” with your key leaders or as a strategic initiative to reform your church from program-based to incarnational community based.  Missio Intensives will be limited in size to that each church can be coached as a team.  We’ll offer Intensives throughout the year and in different locations and the first one is in Denver, September 28-29.

As an apprenticing network for the missional movement. Missio shapes and trains practitioners who are developing people and churches of community and mission.

Hugh & Matt and the entire Missio Team
