Current ideas, trends, and thoughts to strengthen your ministry—or at least help you put it off for a few more minutes

Tuesday, August 28, 2007

Mont Mitchell and the team at Westbrook Christian Church in Illinois have created a new blog, Color Outside the Lines, which focuses on multi-cultural church planting. 

Some quotes:
I think it is high time for a blog that is devoted to the church becoming a place of rich diversity. Martin Luther King Jr. was right when he said that the most segregated hour of the week is Sundays at 10:00. I don't know how it affects you, but I think that Christ envisioned a church where all people regardless of their race, color and economic status could come together to worship the One King of all creation.

We have a vision to do a ministry work, support a missionary and do a short-term mission trip to every country that is represented in our church.

If you want to have a multi-cultural church you have to cultivate friendships with people who don't look like you. Are you intentional about that? Have you/Are you willing to cross racial lines to become friends with the people that you want to reach? It's not going to happen until you start there!

Good stuff! Click here to read more.
