I just found a new blog for me to read. It is by my missions mentor, teacher, and all around Truett Superstar - Michael Stroope.

Here is one of his posts that you should go read. And pay particular attention to the middle three paragraphs that start with “In the realm of faith formation,…”

In other news I’m going to be doing some training the rest of this week. Here is what I’m doing:

For almost a year, Global Connection Partnership Network has been developing training that is church-based and deliverable online.  The training consists of forty two lessons under the broad categories of Foundations, Character, Community, Competency, Church, Connection, and Covenant.  These lessons cover such topics as cross-cultural living, approaching people of other faiths, partnerships, and conflict resolution.  The launch of this new form of training will take place on August 14-15, 2008 in Arlington, TX.  Once a person is trained and certified to faciliate a learning group, he or she will be able to access the lessons and begin training people in the context of their local church.  To learn more about how to be part of this initial workshop, go to http://www.gcpn.org/missional_formation.html .
