"As you have sent me into the world, so I have sent them into the world." ~ John 17:18
Acknowledge that you need help -- you cannot do it alone.
Find one person who will share your intention to imitate Jesus' way of being in the world.
Meet once with that person to explore some implications of living out your shared call to be in the world as Jesus was in the world. Decide whether you will form a relationship, and if so, the schedule of your meetings and the term of your commitment to one another.
In your times together, begin to discern the implications of Every Church A Peace Church for your life, your church and the global church.
Draw on the resources of Every Church A Peace Church for your growth and discernment, using this website and spreading the website to other interested people.
Practice attentive listening, Bible study (Jesus in Bible), prayer, acts of service and justice, and mutual accountability in your relationship.
