Another surprise from God

Well, ViaCordis has gone international. We’re now in Germany. A pastor in Germany had started a large church there, but then felt the call to something smaller and more multiplying. He connected with Bob to process the idea, and instead of trying to reinvent the wheel, he decided to associate with ViaCordis. We’re still trying to figure out structurally what that could look like, but it’s exciting. We’ve always had the vision of ViaCordis spreading beyond the borders of the U.S. but we had no idea what that would look like or what form it would take. God is constantly surprising us.

One observation I’ve made over the last few weeks is that this disciple-making movement isn’t locked in by anything other than where we go. ViaCordis goes wherever its people go. It doesn’t take a building, it doesn’t take a campus. It doesn’t take a big budget. It just takes people. Most movements of the kingdom are like that—they just keep spreading like a wildfire without regard to boundaries and structures.
