Unlike hurricane Alex, Imagine Network is On Target

We're watching this thing wobble and clumsily drift closer to the Valley than they said it would yesterday.  These things are so unpredictable, best thing is to just BE Ready!  But how do you prepare for the unexpected?

Like hurricanes, global mission is unpredictable.  Churches increasingly want to engage but find the cross-cultural currents challenging to navigate and discouraging to even begin.

Here's an encouraging link.  900 mission leaders from 85 countries got together in Tokyo to affirm the past and agree on the future - what is unique in our day and what can be done as a response?  Each generation will be accountable to God for the stewardship of its mission, and this generation will have a LOT to account for if we don't get properly engaged.

The encouraging element is that Imagine Network is positioned to fulfill the vision and focus that these 900 leaders say is needed.  We are ready, we just need the churches and individuals who are ready to say, "Here am I, send me".  Are you ready?  Take up your part in God's global plan!  You have a role to play, and much to account for in this incredible age of global opportunity.....
