“. . . the church is more than an organization providing spiritual goods and services in order to be successful. It is a recognition that the church is missional in nature. At its core is the reality that god’s people are a sign to the world of who God is. This missional nature cannot be subdivided into internal activities for insiders and external activities for outsiders. All the church does and is should live out God’s life in the midst of the world; missional people should practice God’s life before a watching world. This includes worship, preaching, communion, loving one another, social justice, caring for the poor, and sharing Jesus’s gospel. Being missional is about all of it, not part. This is the missional imagination. All of god’s people are on a mission to engage their surrounding neighborhoods, not just a few who are sent outside the church to do something called missions.” – Alan Roxburgh & M. Scott Boren in Introducing the Missional Church: What It Is, Why It Matters, and How to Become One

“Relational evangelism begins by seeing people as Jesus does, spending time with them, having Christ-like attitudes, and learning to communicate so people understand.” Chris Hardy, 21st Century Wineskins Seminar, Module 3
“Time spent in prayer will yield more than that given to work. Prayer alone gives work its worth and its success. Prayer opens the way for God Himself to do His work in us and through us. Let our chief work as God’s messengers be intercession; in it we secure the presence and power of God to go with us.” – Andrew Murray
“Sharing the gospel is more than an informational transaction. It is a relational interaction which leads to transformation.” – Doug Pollock, God Space
“Our ideas of what it means to do evangelism are often the biggest hindrances to doing it.” – Chris Hardy, 21st Century Wineskins Seminar, Module 4
