Justin
Cafe 1040, Shreveport LA
Justin grew up in south Fort Worth in a home that didn't have any real concern for Jesus or Christianity. In high school, Justin was an Atheist, then Agnostic with an interest in many different world religions, but one thing he enjoyed was challenging Christians in their beliefs in an attempt to get them to walk away from their faith. Later in high school he heard the Gospel, but it wasn't until he was 18 that God grabbed his heart and opened his eyes to the Gospel. Since then, Justin served for 3 years as a youth pastor, worked in the corporate world, and has spent the last 3 years working for Cafe 1040 as a mobilizer. His passion is for the meta narrative of scripture of God's redemptive work and our purpose for existing. He's married to Melissa and has two kids, Calvin and Haddie. b

Lesson 10
How Shall They Hear?
Culture and intercultural communication of the gospel. Communicating the gospel with relevance at the worldview level helps avoid syncretism (blending of cultural error with God?s truth) and also enables powerful movements of the gospel. Sensitive missionaries will look for ways that God has preserved or prepared people to hear the gospel, often finding redemptive analogies for God's truth.

Lesson 13
The Spontaneous Multiplication of Churches
Look beyond institutional features of churches to understand churches as dynamic movements of Christ Himself being followed. Such a view of churches as organic, living things opens up the practicality of seeing them multiply rapidly as movements and also flourish in society bearing the fruit of social transformation. Churches as counter-communities, acting as salt and light, bringing change to their cultures. How movements multiply by connecting with entire families and larger social structures.
