Taking the Gap (ttG)

ttG is a global evangelism strategy to equip, train and release ‘ordinary’ believers to take Jesus at His word and move beyond the four walls of the ‘church’.

We are going to produce a series of DVD journals capturing the fears, failures, lessons and victories of ‘ordinary’ believers as they step out on Jesus command to heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those who have leprosy and drive out demons (Matthew 10:7,8). Each part of the series which takes place in a different continent will be captured in a documentary style, reality tv format where the journey unfolds week by week through ncmi.tv.

We piloted the first in the ttG series “Healing the Sick” in Adelaide with wonderful results. Our plan now is to work through the Mathew 10 passage with new teams in other continents. What’s exciting is that the training doesn’t end when we leave. The ttG training is then released as a ten session dvd-based training series complete with Faciliator’s Guide, online faciliator supports and Learner’s Guides. 

The strategy unfolds across seven continents to produce seven DVD journals with training dominoing as more and more teams ttG.

Taking the Gap on Healing the Sick is now available as an 10 session interactive training dvd-based training. Available online now at the ripe co. store.

Psychic Fair

The Psychic Fair is a wonderful Mars Hill opportunity to engage people who are spiritually searching. We have been attending our city fair since 2001 using a range of creative strategies to reveal Jesus.

The first year we developed a strategy called “Letters to God” - where we used actors to gather a crowd as the classic OT prophet on a soap box. We encouraged people to respond by entering a booth where they could use one of our scribes to write a letter to God. This opened up a whole range of topics for discussion as well as providing the opportunity to pray and present a clear picture of Jesus.

Our most recent strategy was called “Taste of Heaven”. We lined the front of our stall with photos of people who had been healed. Inside our tent we were decked out with comfy lounges, lay back music and the aroma of good coffee. Initially we offered passers by a free leg length test. If a leg was shorter we asked permission to pray. As the day progressed and the butchers paper hanging at the tent door began to fill with hour by hour healings the leg test was no longer needed as people booked themselves in for healing prayer based on the stories shared by happy ‘customers’.

Matrix

Working with the theme of the first of the matrix movies we adopted the red pill, blue pill concept to present the gospel to youth gathering at a local community hall. Merging media with scripted actors we recreated the scene from the movie where Morpheus presents Neo with a choice. Take the blue pill and life will continue as you know it or take the red pill and your eyes will be opened to truth.

For those who chose the red pill they went to the next level where they were presented with the first three cards in the Destiny series. These images explore life’s big questions: how the world came to be, why good and evil co-exist and what is the final destiny of the planet. Again, there is an opportunity to choose. Blue pill and the journey ends, red pill and it now becomes very personal. The red pill unveils the destiny of the individual at a very personal level. It is the truth, but is it a truth you want to know because it will cost you everything.
