"We are to be a people who are concious of being sent because we have heard the cry from heaven and have seen the vision. That is an apostolic people. It is why we can together be described as a "family of churches" or a "movement". We are based on relationships but that is not stagnant navel-gazing. We are going somewhere and want to be sent. We want to move into nation after nation. We want to go to unreached people groups. The original command to Adam and Eve was "Fill the earth". Today's command is "Fill the earth with disciples of Jesus". That is what Jesus said in the Great Comission".

"The man who never reads will never be read. He who never quotes will never be quoted. He who will not use the thoughts of other men's brains proves that he has no brains of his own ... You need to read" - C H Spurgeon. "To fail to learn from the pulpit of the past is to impoverish that of the present" - Tony Sargent
