Simplified Missional Living

I've primarily been involved with outreach focused churches. I've been apart of huge events, small events, and various service projects. There have been thrown events which I literally spent months planning due to the complexity. We spent months recruiting volunteers and training them on how to connect with the community.

Then I read an article like this: Simplified Missional Living by Jonathan Dobson. His thinking seems so simple and obvious. Yet, it makes perfect sense. It makes me rethink so much of where I'm putting my effort.
