Future Church

#06 REFRAME Conversation - Josh Howard on Multiplication Mindsets and what Separates Wise & Foolish Builders.

Josh - "Jesus wasn't saying build your life on me and not on other things. His only example that He used was that the wise man was him who heard the word and put it into practice. And the foolish man was the guy who heard and did nothing. So they both heard, but only one of them actually put it into practice. So a lot of times unintentionally in education or even in the church, we design it in such a way that we create foolish builders rather than wise builders. We let them hear the word and never expect them to do anything with it".
 
Here Anthony speaks with Josh Howard from CICM, Central India Christian Mission, which before Covid-19 was seeing +/- 600,000 people in 3,300 CICM churches across India. But the story is even greater than that.
 
Within this, Josh heads up Ignite, a ministry that trains and equips their church planters, to go to places no one has been with the gospel and reach individuals in one of the most unreached parts of the world.
 
Realising that addition would not accomplish the mission, they set out on a journey to multiplication of leaders and churches.
Since making the shift to a multiplication mindset 6 years ago, they've planted about 4,000 new house churches started. Even more incredibly, in 2020 in the midst of the pandemic, they've planted 675 churches.
 
This is not a conversation to miss and one to share with other leaders and your teams to be encouraged by and to help shift your thinking to multiplication and to help you develop passionate and active disciples in your community.
 

#05 REFRAME Conversation - Ness Wilson on Enduring Hardship, Developing Personal Leadership and 'River Churches'.

Ness Wilson [https://pioneer.org.uk/] and [https://www.openheaven.org/] joins Anthony in this episode for a conversation where they look at some of her story and background and what God is doing in the church today. 
 
Much of this conversation relies on a life verse for Ness, 2 Timothy 4:5 - "but you, keep your head in all situations, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, discharge all the duties of your ministry". This is arguably not the kind of verse one may ask for but Ness shares powerfully about how it has informed her life and ministry and has helped her navigate some really tough times.
 
You'll hear also a lot of guidance and some brilliant ideas from Ness about what the church ought to be focussed on in this time and looking forward to. We know you will be encouraged and spurred on by this conversation.
