What if there was a way to transform your church's influence in the community using a fresh perspective? Ivan, a leader from South Africa and recent graduate with a master's degree focusing on the Missional Church, enlightens us on this transformative model. With his journey moving from a local pastor to a missions leader, Ivan talks about the distinct aspects of an Attractional Church focusing on events, and a Missional Church that puts weight on the outward expression of the gospel. Taking the gospel to those who haven't heard it is not only crucial but at the heart of what mission is all about. We journey together with Ivan into the heart of Jesus's teaching, focusing on the coexistence of the internal formation and external expression of the gospel. He shares the importance and power of demonstrating love and generosity, even to those who might not appreciate it. He also introduces us to the "model, assist, watch, and leave" approach, a practical and replicable strategy for imparting values and culture. We look beyond the local church to explore the implications and applications of the Missional Church theme to communities of unreached people groups. Balancing the tension between local church missions and reaching unreached people groups is where things get fascinating. Ivan emphasizes the crucial role of a leader's approach in a Missional Church model. Together, we explore practical steps such as mission exposure and creating conversational spaces. We wrap up with a robust discussion on living out our testimonies, intentional outreach, and the unique ways you can activate your testimony within your sphere. This episode acts as a catalyst for a fresh perspective on the Missional Church model and its potential to empower every believer to being a witness within their community.
