Disciple Driven Church...

We are now officially part of the Disciple Driven Church, a disciple making movement that officially reaches across America for Christ. We are no longer affiliated with the Missionary Church and the Midwest District.

Becoming an official Church movement with tax deductible status was no small task. We felt that in order to better serve the mission of making disciples who make disciples we needed to be geographically unrestricted and structurally unhindered. While we will always love the Missionary Church for birthing us, this step has become necessary to move forward across America in order to birth new movements of Holy Spirit led disciple making.

We are excited about what God is doing and will do in raising up exponential disciple making movements across America.

I continue to pray and believe you know what you're doing, but I also "hmmmm..." a little. But I know you are seeking and listening to what you hear God saying ...

When you come to the place that God says move forward and geographical boundaries/restrictions and structural limitations are holding you back - you must move beyond those things in order to be obedient.

Hmmmm that's seems like an obedient thing to do, right? When man says NO and God says GO - you better get moving.

This HUGE decision will bring forth an even greater harvest. You wait, watch and listen. God has confirmed this decision in many different ways already this week.

Thanks for continuing to believe in us, Mike! This decision was not a knee jerk to anything, we have been praying and fasting for months over this.

One thing I do believe, Bobert, is that you do not make knee jerk decisions (often). LOL!

I would like to hear (not as a condition of anything, but just because I'm a curious guy) about the "geographical boundaries/restrictions and structural limitations" you say were holding you back.

Maybe you can't share that, and that's OK, but it does raise natural questions in the "reporter" side of my brain.

Mike, we can talk sometime. But here is an excellent example of the keystone principles and modern American denominational-ism crashing on the track.
