Expanding Our Search

We are expanding our search for Disciple-makers who will allow God to create a new wine skin movement of Churches across America.

I'm taking responsibility for joining with God in launching disciple-making movements across America with a serious focus on the following cities: Kansas City, Mo; St. Louis, Mo; Lincoln/Omaha Nebraska; DesMoine, Iowa; Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota; Memphis, Tennessee; Wichita, Kansas; North West, Arkansas; Tulsa, Oklahoma, Little Rock, Arkansas; Dubuque/Cedar Rapids/ Davenport, Iowa.

I am praying for the Lord of the Harvest to send forth workers and resources as needed.

The fresh wind of God's Spirit is blowing across America to bring us back to New Testament Christianity and away from our Western and European influences of distorted Christianity. Leaders all across America are weary and tired of the demands of the church (institution) that brings little or no fruit. If you will view the Great Commission with supremacy and put disciple-making as the main thing -we have little concern about how the wine skin looks.

Imagine New Testament ministry in America where disciples are made through relationships and where every new believer immediately begins making disciples who do the same. If Christianity is to ever de-Americanize the Great Commission must be first with all other purposes flowing out of the main thing. Example: Worship, Fellowship and Ministry flow out of the Great Commission and not on the same level of priority. Think about the implications of that for America.

We invest friendship, training and funds into disciple makers who will allow God to birth hundreds/thousands of disciple producing Churches active outside of buildings and structures of bondage. If you are willing to sacrifice whatever necessary to change the world and not just influence her please respond. *Do not respond if you like Americanized Christianity. We need for the church (Americanized) to become the Church (Great Commission-ized).

Some of our team members will be bi-vocational and others will not. We are looking for authenticity and relevance that relationally connects people to Jesus. If you read and are challenged by the writings of Brian McLaren and Rob Bell we want to speak with you.

It is time for a fresh wind and a fresh fire to fall upon us. It's time that we allow God to create a new wineskin (with Great Commission supremacy) to hold the fruit of a huge harvest. Are you interested? Do you value being connected relationally to a district team who are also focussed on fulfilling the Great Commission? We are following what Christ mandated after He rose from dead as the King of Kings and Lord of Lords (Matthew 28:16-20).

As God speaks to you please do your best to send a resume and cover letter responding to the content of this post, in word format. EMAIL: bcarder@centurytel.net

Oh you know what I mean, we'll help in any city across America. You join the vision and we'll help work with God to create an organic move of God.
