We have just come through an amazing time at the Newfrontiers International Leadership Conference in Brighton, England. Terry Virgo, who leads the movement was our main speaker. God clearly used him to not only bring clear perspective regarding our past but also pointed the way forward into the future. I felt he wonderfully modeled for us how an apostolic leader of a movement can prepare that movement to move into the next generation. I heartily recommend downloading those talks from the Newfrontiers website at www.newfrontiers.xtn.org
Right now, Marlene and I are in Bedford, England. Bedford is especially famous for being the home of John Bunyan who wrote The Pilgrim’s Progress. Bunyan wrote this allegorical story while in prison in Bedford for holding church meetings that were not under the authority of the Church of England. This book is a wonderful example of the power of a narrative in conveying the ways of God in the life of a person. This allegory has had amazing appeal to those who are highly educated as well as to children. If you have never read this story that comes to us from the 17th Century let me recommend it to you.(If you don't like to read 17th Century English try the edition in today's English.)
