Year of Highlights

It is vacation time for the Payne family! This means that I am unplugging from the blog, twitter, and email until sometime in July. By the time some of you read this post, I will be driving down the road, eating the family traditional box of donuts, drinking a homemade iced espresso drink, and rocking out on my iPod. :)For those of you needing some soporific reading to assist in the evenings when I'm away, here are a handful of posts from this past year.Three Areas of Missional Adjustment in our Flat WorldTake Courage: You are not the First DominoCasting a Vision for Church Multiplication: 5 Steps to ConsiderGreat Commission Leadership Involves Breaking the Shock of the ObviousWhen a Biblical Model is Viewed as UnusualKingdom Expressions: Trends Influencing the Advancement of the GospelWhen the Ordinary Does the ExtraordinaryStrangers Next DoorFaithful-Doing When You Don't Know What to DoStop Sending Babysitters to the Mission FieldRemember the @Leaders Tell Well the Magnificent TalesThe Real Deal or No DealWhen Talking Church Planting Feels Like Witnessing to MormonsCall Your People to Marketable Skills and DegreesChurch Multiplication Begins with Middle CYour Church is Closer to Planting than You Probably ThinkStrategy Development for a New Generation of Disciple Makers106 Representatives of Unengaged-Unreached Peoples in the United StatesMultiplication MattersGlobal Engagement in a World of Pressure PointsAs always, thank you for reading.
