- It's not about a church that we are building, but about the church that Christ is building.
- Jesus is not asking us to do things for Him, but simply to follow Him and obey his teaching.
- Jesus did not preach the gospel of the church, but the gospel of the Kingdom. Wherever the Kingdom comes, church happens, not the other way around.
- The church will be reformed/refounded on Christ if we do what Jesus tells us to do and first seek the Kingdom.
- We have to learn to be intimate not just with Jesus' presence, but also with his will.
- Do we worship a carved image or a dynamic Christ? Jesus is not static, but a moving target.

It's all about recentering our lives on Christ. I also wrote down a quote from Lucas (the Netherlands): "Too often we google-fy Jesus. We take in loads of interesting information, while lacking true knowledge of God that comes from revelation and obedience."

1. Reaching people. Forget everything you have been taught on evangelism. Even bury the term itself. What Jesus taught his disciples is to simply ask God to lead them to the right people, so called 'people or houses of peace' who are ready to receive the Kingdom. Not everyone is ripe to be harvested, so don't force yourself or others into an artificial approach. Rather 'gossip' the gospel ("hey, listen to this") and bring God into the conversation in a low-key way by sharing a story of what happend to you or a friend of yours. If something resonates with them, they will pursue the conversation, otherwise drop it. Ask God for prophetic impressions, like words of knowledge, that will speak destiny in a person's life. If he/she is sick, pray for healing. If he/she is hungry, provide a meal. Be Jesus to them.

2. The conversion thing. When people want to follow Jesus, then don't give them a cheap deal. It's not just about forgiveness of sins, but about surrendering your life to Christ, which means that He is now in charge. It will provide destiny, but also requires costly obedience. Three things to do right away: get the person baptised, filled with the Holy Spirit, and delivered from any remaining demons.

3. Discipling. It's amazing how few Christians know how to disciple others. You don't need to be an expert to disciple others, just share the basic things, so people know how to pray, read the Bible, hear and obey God's voice, build friendship with other Christians, and share Jesus with others. If they get the basics, Jesus will reveal more of himself on the way and draw them deeper.

4. Forming community. Basically a small group of people who seek Jesus and his Kingdom together. Start with 2-3 people, and if there's life it will grow. The focus should never be coffee with doughnuts, but sharing Christ with others and discipling them. Either open your own house (hospitality) or - even better - meet in other people's house, so a Kingdom seed is planted in another social network. You can meet anywhere: on the tram, in a pub or at your school or workplace. The more embedded in ordinary life, the better.

5. Multiplication. Everything that contains life will multiply. The fruit of an apple tree is not an apple, but other apple trees. The ideal size of small group is 6-12 people. Beyond that number it's time to multiply by either splitting up, or intentionally forming new groups.

6. Apostolic teams. Basically a group of Christians in itinerant ministry, committed to break open new areas for the Kingdom. They also apply the 'people of peace' principle, and from communities around them. Their primary role is to impart DNA and lay foundations.

Some questions to help define one's role are:
1. Which area did God call you for? (e.g. local/regional impact, apostolic teams, finance/support)
2. What is your anointing? (the specific way God uses you to bless others)
3. With whom does He call you to partner?

We pencilled in a few plans for the coming season:
- Connect meetings (like this one in Prague) with the specific purpose to enlarge people's vision and build friendship;
- developing a hands-on DNA training for mobile apostolic teams (including outreach);
- small-scale, focused consultations to develop strategies into (at this moment) three areas: finances/funding of apostolic teams, wicca/neopaganism/new age, and media.

Feel free to drop me an e-mail if you have a specific interest in one of these areas.

Some things to improve on in a next gathering:

1. Less plenary input and front-led discussion, and more corridor space, story telling and focused small group interaction. The meeting format should reflect the organic Body we want to be. A typical tension in the transition from an old to a new paradigm.
2. More 'corporate' hearing from God and acting in community. One way to do this is prophetic prayer for nations, as a way of empowering each other with God's grace and direction.
3. Active facilitation of the 'prophetic' slots, as these sometimes lacked clear corporate understanding and direction.
4. Less conceptual input, and more application. Theology is being shaped out of practice.

When reading through the feedback forms, it's clear that this meeting was significant for most people, especially in shifting paradigms and building friendship.
