Disillusioned? I have a solution...

The Harvest fields are ripe unto harvest but the laborers are few! Pray the Lord of the harvest to send forth workers.

*Are you are or have you been disillusioned with (ministry at church) the way ministry is predominately being done in the American Church?
*Are you tired of being put in box that is too small for the God you serve?
*Are you weary of having to serve a ministry the way they make you instead of the way you feel God is leading you?
*Do you know the church in America is broke - but you are not sure how to fix her?
*Are you feeling controlled? Imprisoned?
*Are you discouraged with the amount of money it takes to make disciples?
*Are you fed up with consumerism, business, rules and regulations that immobilize disciples.

We are launching new Mission Districts in the metro regions of the Midwest. In these districts we are not doing church planting as you may know it. We are looking for leaders who will step out in faith and trust God for a Great Commissional movement of disciple-making.

You will begin by working bi-vocationally at least initially. This is where you will begin making disciples by being out in community and this also gives credibility to your heart motivation. You must called to an area. You must be willing to be incarnationally transformed in order to strip away the baggage of Americanized Christianity. You must be willing to make the Great Commission the supreme task of the Church (every Christ follower.) We will not start with buildings, budgets and butts. You must not have an internal motivation to pastor a large church with bigger buildings, budgets, and bodies. We will make the disciples -God will build His Church. We will begin the movement by making disciples who make disciples themselves. You must insist that living incarnationally in the world (being the Church) is more important than just going to church. Our expectation is that you will allow the Holy Spirit to launch a movement through you that develops authentic Christ followers who are disciple multipliers.
