Hi friends,  Lot's of lively interaction on this topic of "Oh Hell."  

I am new to this site.  I would enjoy meeting some of you personally.  I am working with church planting movements in major regions of the world, ranging from North India to SubSaharan Africa, to Egypt, to Bangladesh to Indonesia.  The indigenous led movements we are supporting are seeing hundreds of thousands come to the Lord each year and thousands of small churches are planted that are growing beautifully.  The Lord has been impressing on me to balance between local and global.  I'd be very interested to learn what your groups are learning as they reach-out in Colorado Springs ... are there places/neighbhorhoods/peoples where God seems to really be moving and help is needed?  I would enjoy the interaction!  God bless you richly,  Steve Hoffman

Good to hear from Mark Tsi!  Looking forward to meeting you, Mark.

Christianity Today has a great update on the growth of Christianity in North India.  One of the key movements discussed is one of our parnter ministries.  Exciting to see the blend of the Great Commission with the Great Commandment and the impact this has in culture.

Heard from a fine cpm facilitator this morning -- Carol Davis -- she is seeing church planting movements spread heavily into cities all around the world.  Thanks to the Lord for this.  Many global movements have been village based and finding models that are working in cities --- maybe like Colorado Springs! --- is an interest area of mine.

Blessings to each of you,  Steve Hofman
