I am more and more amazed at how many people I am meeting and hearing about who are attempting to live out a less uncluttered faith in Jesus Christ. Just in my area of Auckland City (North Shore) I am meeting more individuals and groups who are at different stages of stepping out of the safety zone of 'church' and taking the risk to chase after God in unorthodox (but more Biblical?)ways.

My guesstimate is that at a minimum there are at least 20 organic groups on the North Shore and you could most probably double that if you counted even more disorganised little groups. Thats in a poppulation of around two hundred thousand. The dificulty is that we are all so disconected and unaware of each other. This part of the Kingdom of God is truely underground and it is very hard to find one another.

One defining point of this new move of people beginning to express there faith more simply and organically is committment to ONE ANOTHER.
It is not about individualisim and personal experiance, it is about interconnectedness, reliance on others and truly being part of the body of Christ. It's about being vulnerable and being Christ to one another.

Let's find one another!
