I am enjoying processing the following missional themes with leaders from a local church (which has had an active congregation for more than a century!). I’m more accustomed to doing training with pioneering leaders and church planters via a process CA’s president and I developed called INFUSE.  In this case I’ve built upon the INFUSE themes, with some new material added and a more simplified approach that frames the themes as a series of core questions. It is going very well so far, and the primary pastor seems quite pleased. I’ll soon be preaching at this church, so we’ll see how that could be additive to the DNA embedding process.
