In a recent video, GCI President Dr. Greg Williams referred to ministry as “place-sharing”–our sharing, by the Spirit, in Jesus’ own sharing in the “place” (lives) of all people. That relational approach to ministry is addressed by Andrew Root in the book “The Relational Pastor.” For an overview of this book on The Surprising God blog, go to http://thesurprisinggodblog.gci.org/2014/02/in-post-last-year-i-referred-to-work-of.html.
Place sharing is not transactional, but transformative…right on target! Thanks you, Cara. Helpful GCI Buzz and ABC’s.
Thank you. This made sense of, gave meaning to, my life experiences past and present. I’m sure this program will provide much encouragement to all who are privileged to be able to access it.
