St. John's Day Camp Storyframe

Posted by Todd Engstrom in christianity on April 3, 2009

Steven Bush,  a resident in the Make Disciples ministry at The Austin Stone, catalogued our Spring Break St. John’s Day Camp that was put on by students and volunteers from The Stone and other neighborhood churches.  I really recommend you give it a look.

From Bush’s website:

‘St. John Daycamp 2009′ is the first edition of STORYFRAMES. STORYFRAMES is an ongoing multimedia (photography & audio) project I am working on that helps tell the stories of mission going on here in the body at The Austin Stone. This particular slideshow tells the story of Austin Stone college students investing in the lives of children who live in the St. John neighborhood. You can click here to view & listen.

The Ordinary: The Rabbit and The Elephant.

Posted by Todd Engstrom in church, college ministry, missional on April 2, 2009

We have some great students who think deeply about the church universal and the church local, and are living expressions of mission on their campus.  Aaron is one of them, and I’ve been blessed to watch him wrestle with the concepts of missional community.  He’s writing about it at The Ordinary, and here is an excerpt from his latest post:

Basically what Im getting at is not hard. Its not the rabbit OR the elephant… its the rabbit AND the elephant. Its a “variety of ministries, and the same Lord. There are verieties of effects, but the same God who works all things in all persons” 1 Cor 12:5-6. One is not better than the other but I do think in the future the American church majority will consist of rabbits and I think most can agree on this.
