Some of the clear ingredients are as follows: -

• Vicki and I are to ‘give birth’ to a younger generation who will be spiritually significant: they will introduce new expressions of the church and Kingdom.

• It will involve re-laying the foundations of church for a new generation.

• Our priority is to identify/create a regional network of young people (200 over the next 2 years?). Vicki is likely to be the ‘gatherer’ with my support: I will be the ‘envisioner’ with her support.

• The process has begun and will be sustained by prayer: it must be a move of the Holy Spirit. Our home must relate to “a place of prayer in the middle of nowhere” and be a spiritual power house! NB: windmill significance.

• We need to plan – a methodical approach – so that our shared approach to everything we do is subject to this one goal.

I’ll add some more ingredients tomorrow but give the opportunity for a little ‘mulling over’. Comments welcome: this is, as they say, a work in progress rather than absolute conclusions although the above seems pretty clear to us..
