The Emerging Church and The One Project? is a series of PowerPoint presentations asking the question if there is in fact a connection between the two. The purpose of the presentations are not to lambast those who want to lift Jesus up, but rather to allow leaders of the One Project to tell us in their own words (and the words of those promoting the project) what their goals and aspirations really are, and how these goals have been enacted in their past experiences.
Presentation 1 of 10 is a summary of the Emerging Church as defined on Wikipedia. This is a summary of the 17 page article found there which is taken from many leading proponents of the Emerging Church here in America.
Presentations 2 through 4 deal with Leonard Sweet, a leader in the Emerging Church movement and a professor at George Fox University, and many of the nearly 50 books he has authored which express his various viewpoints.
Presentations 5 through 9 deal with the five main leaders of The One Project, four of which graduated with or started DMin degrees from George Fox University under the mentorship of Leonard Sweet. In each presentation an objective look is taken at material in print telling of each leaders work and ministry up to 2012. The question will naturally follow; is this the direction we should be leading our young people in the Adventist Church?
Presentation 10 deals with the One Project gathering in Seattle, February of 2012, looking at the claims of the Project “Jesus. All” and comparing this to what really took place at the gathering. Yes, there was some good points made, and we need to lift Jesus up, but…. We also take a look at a little of the evidence suggesting The One Project is a response to GYC.

Missionary Outreach to Unchurched Apartment DwellersRonnie Floyd
As Senior Pastor of Cross Church in the Northwest Arkansas community, Dr. Ronnie Floyd conducts extensive outreach and missionary efforts, in imitation of the way Jesus’ apostles carried the Gospel to nonbelievers across the known world of their day. For Cross Church and its leadership, missionary work--the offering of God’s Word to those in need of its wisdom--is among the most positive activities to undertake. Because Dr. Floyd tailors his congregation’s outreach to the real, everyday needs of contemporary people, it is even more effective.

Strategically rebuilding the Church of the Nativity involved studying, learning from and adopting successful practices in other Christian communities. Dr Ruth Powell will explore trends in evangelisation and what is working well in Christian communities across Australia. Participants are invited to take big picture ideas, learn from others and apply them in their own parishes.
Ruth Powell is Director of National Church Life Survey (NCLS) Research and an Associate Professor at the Australian Catholic University. She has been a part of the NCLS team since 1991. She has written about many aspects of Australian church life, including church health, denominational differences, and individual attitudes. Her PhD research focused on age differences among church attenders. Some of the publications she has co-authored include Winds of Change, Views from the Pews, Shaping a Future, Build My Church, Taking Stock, and Enriching Church Life.
This message is a prophetic word the Lord has given me. Test it.
Jerusalem represents the American Church— all the followers of Jesus
The broken walls of Jerusalem represent the broken moral and spiritual foundations of the Church— broken by many sins in the Church
Through those broken walls, forces of darkness have infiltrated and corrupted the people of God
The book of Nehemiah is a metaphor for how God is rebuilding our spiritual walls and cleansing God’s people in America
God restored Jerusalem in preparation for the coming of Jesus about 450 years later
God is restoring us now in preparation for a huge national and international revival

How does church planting work? This presentation reveals 6 basic phases in the process: mobilizing, evangelizing, discipling, gathering, empowering, and multiplying.
The growth of a church requires deliberate efforts andvcannot be attained by wishful thinking. These presentation is about a few ideas which have been found helpful in church growth efforts.
Download the interactive manual free at http://www.churchtaskforce.org/cpm/GPHC_2013.pdf
This manual is a complete tool to guide leaders and believers who desire to plant or renew a church. It is not training for ministry, rather training in ministry for those who sense God’s call to church planting and renewal.
This manual is not theory or some Western or Eastern new teaching but a timetested model, proven historically in Acts. It is not written to teach a new method
or improve the old methods! A word of caution: it would be a travesty to become more biblical and neglect your relationship with Christ and the gift of the Holy Spirit.
If you sense this call, you may think that you must have a Bible College or a Seminary degree or financial support to establish a growing church. While there is absolutely nothing wrong with any of these, the Bible does give us a wonderful
example of how the church originally began and was established without degrees or money. By following the example of Christ and the Apostles, in the power of the Holy Spirit, you can be successful in seeing a growing church planted and established.
Shifting Stats: Shaking the Church. World Vision Canada's 2014 Church Leaders...WVCNCE
Gain a bird’s-eye view of Canada’s new cultural context and a different lens through which to re-frame the Gospel.
In spring 2014, more than 800 church leaders in 10 Canadian cities participated in the church leaders forum: "Shifting Stats: Shaking the Church."
Using the latest Canadian statistics and church research, Dr. Don Moore, World Vision’s National Church Ambassador, painted the picture of our new cultural and religious landscape. Bruxy Cavey, author and Teaching Pastor at The Meeting House, then challenged our thinking on how to not only present but also live out the Gospel given these new realities.
Since 2007, World Vision Canada has offered these half-day church leader events to serve the local church. We strive to offer relevant ministry topics and host a space for honest conversation and collaboration among local leaders.

Church growth today, same vision, new approachPLAcademy
• Church Growth - Definition • Our Driving Motive As A Church • Revisiting The Church’s Vision And Mission • A Change Of Strategy Is Needful • We Need Commitment of Ministers • Church Research Inevitable Today • Understanding the Millennials • The Need for Spiritual Entrepreneurs in churches
God calls the Church and our parishes to grow. However, today many of our parishes lack a vision for making disciples, have few or no plans to grow, and can assume that their current members are growing and new disciples are being made, despite evidence to the contrary. In other words, our parishes can be more hopeful than honest. This workshop will address the pastoral reality and current practice of our parishes, offer a renewed vision for making disciples and evangelisation, and suggest practical actions that parishes can take to change the culture and focus of their ministries and groups. It will draw on research into best practice for Church growth both here in Australia and abroad and facilitate a conversation about the nature of parish leadership in this time of change and challenge for faith.

Unfortunately, short-term pastoral tenure has become one of the adverse
issues affecting the health and growth of Asian churches in the United States.
Significant anecdotal evidence indicated that Asian churches are experiencing a
shortage of pastors caused by a destructive cycle of pastoral turnover. ... The purpose of this study was to examine personal and institutional issues
affecting Asian-American pastors’ ministry tenure.

Russian anarchist and anti-war movement in the third year of full-scale warAntti Rautiainen
Anarchist group ANA Regensburg hosted my online-presentation on 16th of May 2024, in which I discussed tactics of anti-war activism in Russia, and reasons why the anti-war movement has not been able to make an impact to change the course of events yet. Cases of anarchists repressed for anti-war activities are presented, as well as strategies of support for political prisoners, and modest successes in supporting their struggles.

Grow
Faster
• “The
single
most
effec%ve
evangelis%c
methodology
under
heaven
is
plan%ng
new
churches.
• Without
excep%on,
the
growing
denomina%ons
have
been
those
that
stress
church
plan%ng.“
– Peter
Wagner
• New
churches
provide
superior
results.
Some
denomina%ons
have
found
as
much
as
80%
of
their
conversion
growth
comes
from
new
churches.

Develop
leaders
quicker

church
labors
to
develop
and
disciple
new
leaders,
but
new
congrega%ons
do
it
faster.
• They
are
forced
to
raise
more
leaders
per

and
quicker
than
established
churches.

being good Christians. We all thought our kids
