Thats exactly the challenge. However, rather than creating one more human organization, mission agency or church network, what would happen if Jesus himself would start to arrange all of us in such a way that we would fit his plans, rather than us trying to make him fit into ours? What if we would stop asking God to bless what we are doing, and start doing what he is blessing? There is a new spirit tangible all over the world, inspired by the fascinating reality of the Kingdom of God that Jesus started, that is plain better than Communism, Capitalism and even Christinity as we know it. What could happen if God would bring together all his people from around the world, those from within traditional church systems, those from the new, organic house church networks and those completely outside any churchy system, those that are followers of the King, Jesus, but are not fitting any more into denominational fractions, would start laying down their crowns and swords, their logos, plans and budgets before their King and allow him to build them into the apostolic people, that species with a divine mission he has always intended all of us to be? The sky would be the limit.

will we ever see the humanly impossible task accomplished, that Jesus Christ gave all of us, given the complexity of the world we live in today. Daniel forsaw this in a prophetic vision and said: “The rock that struck the statue became a huge mountain and filled the whole earth” (Dan 2:35).
Dr Stetzer has an outstanding paper on the American emerging church just released on The Journal for Baptist Theology and Ministry Well researched and worth the read. There are not many examples of Baptist emerging movements but it is still a superb effort and reflects some of the diversity of the conversation. A few quotes of mine feature in his article.
