<p>This week I met with three pastors from three different churches, one baptist and two mennonite. For two hours we talked about what the next move of God might look like. It is a mystery how our relationship with God is so good we wouldn&#8217;t trade it for anything, but how can we effectively help unbelievers experience our reality?</p>



<p>One of our challenges is how do we reach out into lostness with the good news? Roy Moran, who wrote Spent Matches, says that only rarely to Christian start a disciple making movement first among themselves, and then take it to the lost. Movements of people towards God almost always starts among the lost.<br /></p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Movements?</h2>



<p>Moran explained that&nbsp;<em>&#8220;In just one of the more than one hundred movements in the last twenty years, more than two million people have been baptized, and eighty thousand churches have been planted&#8221;&nbsp;</em>(p. 57). Imagine starting people movements like this in Canada, the United States, Brazil, and South America.</p>



<p>What would you be willing to do if you knew you could be part of reaching a harvest like this?</p>
