"Here they are...a small handful of our favorite quotes from 2004. Some are serious and some are silly. They all come out of the community of friends we live and work with here:-
"They are teaching us how to be church."
(Barbara, on the way her un-churched friends spon-taneously share life together) |

"Wasn't I playing the djembe so good??
I think when I worship God helps me!"
(Colin (age 10) after playing the djembe during worship in one of our 24-7 prayer rooms)
"This guitar is the best thing you've ever bought!"
(Trevor, to his parents after spending an hour alone in the living room playing the guitar we got him a couple of years ago)
"It's like God is spreading a rumor about what it is he wants to do."
(Leslie, after listening to many people sharing that they are seeing God do similar new things all over the world among believers seeking to be the church.)
"You guys transmit a better vibe than other people."
(Phillipa to Marty, Carey, Byron and Lisa, to which Marty replied: 'That vibe you're talking about is the Holy Spirit in us.")
"If we don't have true, intimate, transparent relationships with Jesus and others in our lives, how can we impact any one individual, let alone a people group and a whole generation?"
(Brian, on our efforts to impact the world.)
