This week I've been in Penrith (it's outside Sydney somewhere) at a conference run by Pastor Jack Hanes on missions.
Earlier this year he changed the name of his church to "Imagine Nations" to fit in with their twenty year history and 2020 vision for global church planting. Jack had found our church name a little "out there" as have many older christians. Many times telling our network name as "Imagine" has opened up interesting conversations and quirky looks.
However Jack said he was reading a secular book on 20 terms that will shape this century. The number one word was "Imagine". So he changed their name but put their focus on nations.
I like the open ended nature of our name though don't you?
Imagine .... arts, justice, the poor, transformation, church planting, kingdom business, making a difference, real relationship, truth, authenticity, great marriages, integrity, reformation, grace, love, family, community. There are SO many ways and things to imagine and God has no limit to what He can do... The only cap is our ability to ask or think or imagine.
So imagine .......
