KILLING HOLY? COWS

While on my way to talk business with Marcus & Marcus, out of-the-box kingdom pioneers in Meiningen, my train ran over a whole herd (!) of cows nicely processing in single file exactly in the same track that my train wanted to use...

Guess who won... !!!

After a series of small bumps our train stood and firefighters counted 12 dead cows (not all of them in one piece.)

The poor dudes and us made made it into the news: here and here.)

GOING KANGAROO

Memories from down-under:

After a week of research Dave and me went petting Kangaroos for a change.
Enjoy the fotos finally uploaded :)

THE STARFISH VISION

Wolfgang is leading the way. Here finally comes his long awaited introduction into what he calls a "flat-structured global apostolic network" symbolized by the starfish (and alluding to the famous business conception of leaderless organisations):
"Die Starfish-Vision", until now in German only. What i really like is that the vision comes with more than just words: The Starfish Portal introduces an "apostolic resource structure" incl. downloads, newsletter, association, foundation, donations.
As usual with the prophet, claims and visions are unsurpassable. Let's see what that new structure can help us achieve for the King.

LAUSANNE RESEARCH

Hugely enjoying the 5th Lausanne Researchers Conference here downunder in Melbourne, Australia!

We've done the Great Ocean Road today and with perfect sunset we arrived at the spectactular Twelve Apostles. Koalas included. Fotos pending.

Great and resourceful people to meet here. I also got nice 5 minutes to shortly present where we are at with emRG. This was very well received.

In a word. I am completely enjoying it even while my sleep rhythm got totally screwed..

By chance i learnt about Alan's and Andrew's Forge weekend conference just about the street. Guess i will rather flock to the flocks of cangaroos and wombats, however.

STRATEGIC INFORMATION

Here is the announced prototype of our new nation pages for church planters in Europe: Portugal. Check out and feel free to comment. It is work in progress and early days...

The idea is to provide original data, orientation in the mass of existing data, as well as some predigestion and summary evaluation relevant to church planters and missions strategists.

You as a missions-bearer in your place - what would you do with such an information page if it were zoomed down to your city?
