i think i hear thunder!!! Just a brainstorm.

Let's keep the brainstorming going!! Words, phrases, pictures, excerpts from books, semi-collected thoughts. If this is the "pot" that collects the ideas, we should be able to step back and see what we have at the end. Enjoy! Don't hold ideas back.

I will be in ft wayne April 17 so I am trying to get a meeting with Missionary Church District Superintendent Steve Jones
Melanie found an organization that seems similar to what we are thinking in Cincy--I am trying to get info to set up a meeting.
I found a training on Simple Way website it is April 11-13 in Lexington Ky at a place similar to simple way/potterstreet. I think I am going to go take a look at The conversion school on www.simpleway.com. Anyone up for a trip?

Here are brainstorming from before:

Katie throws in the pot: connecting, comforting the lonely, reconciliation, teaching --God's glory
Jesse throws in the pot: community, meeting needs, training in community outreach, connect to the body...
Marti throws in the pot; Great Commission, Discipling to the 4th generation, partnerships,
hope, love God, love people, radical, neighborhood transformation through service and discipleship, example of green
Lisa throws in the pot: circles, safe house, respite, refuge, shelter, food, hsopitaltiy, healing love, purity, information
ryan throws in the pot: connecting point for non profits and volunteers, mission trips, community through service, resources, house network, loving others, partaking in community, involve teen volunteers.
if this is driving you crazy step out and just watch and listen--certain gift mixes do this brainstorming thing well, to others it is frustrating (I myself love it and am having a lot of fun right now)
one more thought: some like it hot some like cold some like in the pot nine days old!

Eden's Mission Statement:
As Christians our first "mission" needs to be the Great Commission. If we go out and do "good deeds" but don't give the people Jesus what have we really accomplished? Maybe we could go down the road of Loving God and Loving people? I think we can do all of these things!
