Dennis Teaches at Reach Global Church Planters Workshop in Amsterdam

In early March, Dennis Tongoi and Cristi Petricioiu had the privledge of jointly serving as keynote speakers for a major conference of European church planters held in Amsterdam.

The conference, conducted by the Church Planting Institute of Reach Global, the Evangelical Free Church of America mission, was attended by 167 church planters from 30 European nations. The theme for the event was “Wholistic Ministry.” Dennis and Cristi presented materials from the DNA Vision Conference to the enthusiastic participants. Renowned theologian D.A. Carson also participated in the event and led morning devotionals.

Dennis wrote: “I am humbled by the response of many of the participants. One leader from Portugal has said he is willing to travel anywhere in the world to get more training on Biblical worldview and wholistic discipleship. Another invited me to train his team in Russia, and have the training recorded and translated into Russian.”

Cristi wrote: “I was amazed how many European countries Reach Global has missionaries in. I was more amazed that these people were not only hungry for the materials given in our presentations, but how many of them are already practicing wholistic ministry. According to many of the participant’s comments, they now have a better understanding of the concepts and new tools to glorify God even more in their church planting efforts. Many said it was one of the best such  events they had ever been to.”

Dennis serves as leader of the Africa Working Group, the steering committee of Samaritan Strategy Africa. He also Church Mission Society, Africa. Cristi, a native of Romania, heads Dezvoltare Comunitara, the DNA affiliate in Romania.

The Imago Dei

What is your purpose as a Christian? To glorify God? To become Christlike and shine His light? Yes, but how… where does God most clearly lay out His purpose for humanity? In Genesis. This is when God created the world overflowing with beauty and potential, placed humans in it, and presented His first commision for us. Together we will unpack what it means to be made imago Dei, in the image of God. Understanding this concept is critical, and there are consequences if we do not. Learn how an understanding of imago Dei can change individuals, businesses, communities, and nations so that they flourish in the mission God’s given them.

Beauty is in the Eye of the Beholder with Brian Chan

Truth, goodness, and beauty are the hallmarks of the Kingdom of God, but sadly we often overlook the “beauty.” We all see a crystal clear river and say it is beautiful. We see another stagnate with debris and trash and say it is polluted and ugly. Why do we share this universal understanding of beauty? Where does this shared understanding come from? There is an intrinsic answer here that points straight back to our Creator. Today we are joined by artist, entrepreneur, professor, author, speaker, and pastor Brian S. Chan. Brian wrote his thesis on the beauty of God and art in worship and has never looked back as he continues to share and deepen his understanding of beauty and the Kingdom. During our discussion, we asked is beauty objective, where does it come from, why do humans pursue ugliness, when did the church have a vision for beauty, and what does a theology of beauty look like? Last, we get practical and ask how can each of us apply this concept into our daily lives.
