This year I'm focused on and engaged in three areas of ministry:
1. Chronicling Acts in our time
I publish Joel News International, a leading e-zine on prayer, revival, frontline missions, saturation church planting and community transformation. Joel News serves the worldwide church with encouraging and reliable news stories about what God is doing and how his Kingdom is advancing in many nations. Over the years we've seen that Joel News has been used by God as a seed of hope. Encouraging, live-giving stories stir hope, but also help people to enter into a new paradigm of the Kingdom that is real and advancing, drawing them in the adventurous journey of following Christ.
2. Simple/organic church planting movements
I help initiate and strategically develop simple/organic church planting networks in Europe. The teams I'm part of long to see a church, a vibrant family of Jesus, within close reach of every person in Europe, and want to foster friendship, strategic planning and synergy among simple church pioneers, trainers and network facilitators, while also developing simple ways to train people, multiply groups, and monitor progress.
3. Emerging visionaries and pioneers
I serve Connect Europe, a friendship-based network and 'learning community' that links emerging visionaries and pioneers in 20 nations around Jesus and the passion to start and shape new movements of prayer, justice, community and missions throughout the continent. In 2009 Connect will have a sabbatical period, with only a few activities and more time to seek God.
Become a supporter!
If this resonates with you, then consider becoming a supporter in prayer and/or financially. It is possible to use the Joel News donations page, but make sure you mention 'personal support', so your donation will be booked accordingly.
