"Missional Moves: 15 Tectonic Shifts That Transform Churches, Communities and the World" Rob Wegner/Jack Magruder


I keep picking this ebook up again and again in recent weeks pondering a few places I'm working...

The 15 Tectonic Shifts described in Missional Moves

1. From Saved Souls to Saved Wholes
"The Gospel has been radically reduced under the influence of modernism, consumerism, and the enlightenment. Most people think of the Gospel as Saved Souls instead of Saved Wholes."

2. From “Missions” to Mission
Missio Dei 

3. From My Tribe to Every Tribe
Tracing God's mission through Scripture and part of a global story

4. From Or to And
Being missional AND attractional

5. From Center to Margins
God active on the margins and speaking from the edges

6. From Top Down to Bottom Up
Grounded action, ideas and shared leadership

7. From Diffused to Focused
Calling, DNA, ethos

8. From Transactional Partnerships to Transformational Partnerships
Healthy strengths based partnerships

9. From Relief to Development
Partners not imposed

10. From Professionals to Full Participation
Involvement for all availabilities

11. From Formal to Fractal
Releasing people to live out what drives them

12. From Institution to Movement
How they must work together

13. From Mega + Multi to Mega + Multi + Micro
Missio Dei with already mobilised people being equipped

14. From “We can do it, you can help!” to “You can do it, we can help!”
 Training hub

 15. From Great Commission to Great Completion
Becoming a local church that is strategic about the completion of the Great Commission

It just promotes thoughts each time I dive in...
