Our meeting in Tulsa was set up by Paul Littleton, and hosted by Agora Marketplace. Paul is the pastor of Faith Baptist Church, Sapulpa, OK. He is thoughtful, thought-provoking, and committed to putting into practice all that he sees lacking in popular Christianity. We had the pleasure of sharing a meal with his family in his home, and we were blessed by the company, food, and conversation.
Our About Europe meeting was a good one. Mike and Debbie Johnson drive all the way from Arkansas for this meeting! We were also happy to connect with Rivendell Fellowship, another community of faith that’s not content to recreate “more of the same.”
Some of the discussion with this group centered around the concern for funding. Getting directly involved in missions in Europe is great in theory, but what about a small church with little/no resources to speak of?
In this day of instant messaging and social networking portals, you don’t need a whole lot of money to connect with someone in another country. We encourage churches to prayerfully engage people missionally online through message boards, social networking sites, email, and affinity groups. “Virtual missions” is quick, easy, and free. Be sure to look for more details regarding creative (and low-cost) ways for your church to get more directly involved in missions.
