Want to know where God is taking his church in the future? Want to know what the church will look like over the next five years? Who doesn’t?
The answer is found “at the edges” where church planters live and minister. Look to what church planters are doing and you’ll see what God is doing. The challenge for church planters is to sense what God is doing and feel free to think and pursue new ways of doing ministry. Interestingly, the Bible is very open to this. Note that Scripture doesn’t put us in a straitjacket as to how to do ministry. It really leaves this open. The only limit besides a few biblical constraints is the creativity of our planters.
