Mission Shaped Intro has got off to a great start in Toronto. Twenty people have come faithfully each week to sessions led by John Bowen and Jenny Andison. We have had great group discussion, watched video clips from such movies as Sister Act, and done a number of practical exercises. We have experienced a variety of styles of prayer, watched videos of fresh expressions of church in the UK, rewritten Acts chapter 2(!), eaten bread freshly baked during the session, and discussed why night clubs sound like fun while church sounds so boring. A measure of how well the session has gone is that several people are wanting to take the materials and use them to teach MSI in their own home area.
John Bowen has been associated with the Institute of Evangelism since 1997, and has been the Director since 1999. For twenty-five years he worked for Inter-Varsity Christian Fellowship, from 1989 till 1997 as National Evangelism Consultant and a campus evangelist. He has a Doctor of Ministry degree from McMaster University. For more information on John's ministry, click the Director link in the sidebar at left. Click here to read all articles by John Bowen
