I would like to introduce a few of my friends to you. (please click on the picture for more info ) The nine pics above represent an extraordinary group of people who are living in different cities around the world and are very different, and yet alike in many ways.

They are entrepreneurial, super creative, risk takers, great networkers, community loving everyday people. I have had the privilege of being a small part of their expanding worlds and I am loving what I am seeing. They are breaking out of religious molds to create collaborative spaces for their families and communities.

As I drop in on them from time to time, they have been gracious and bold enough to gather some friends so we can scheme together. We talk about how God can infiltrate their art and lives. How they can effect culture and establish their place in the city...

And this is only a small sample, I have not even mentioned Ferg and Saj in Dublin and their amazing projects, or Jay and Erin in Auckland, Jan Schlegel in Herrnhut, Joakim Magnus in Oslo, Ben Parsons and YWAM Seattle... the list goes on for a while. There are amazing people all over the world going deep with God and starting a whole new chapter in the Kingdom of God.
