1. Changing
life on the planet
"Apostles are there to change life on the
planet," said Anderson Williams from Trinidad, speaking on an
'apostolic symposium' in Switzerland. But he had difficulty giving clear
examples of how apostles build in practice. It sparked an interesting
discussion on the so-called 'New Apostolic Reformation'.
2. A
learning community
The Connect Europe network is committed to
intentionally evaluate and learn all the time. Big question: is there
leadership in the 'organic' church? And how does it function?
3.
A
bit more radical, please
When I facilitated an interactive teaching
session for young leaders on church and reformation, the organiser came up
to me and asked if I could increase the 'radicality factor' a bit more. So I
talked about why religious systems can be demonic and keep people in
bondage.
4. Multiplying
John Maxwell
Evangelical management guru John Maxwell wants to
train 5,000 leaders in the Netherlands and for some reason I was asked to
join the steering committee for this mega leadership development program. I
politely declined the invitation. God didn't call me to multiply John
Maxwell in others. Why would an apple tree join a pear tree development
program?
5. What
is God doing in Holland?
How I was invited to give a vision seminar
for Agapè (the Dutch branch of Campus Crusade for Christ) on what God is
doing in Holland, and ended up being called a heretic because I baptise
people without first consulting a pastor.
