Catalyst Conference 2008 - Brenda Salter McNeil

Brenda Salter McNeil wrote the book, “A Credible Witness.”

Her talk was entitled, “Shake It Up” and came from Acts 1:8 and Acts 2:1-12

Here are thoughts from Brenda’s talk:

“God wants to change the world more than we want to change it!”

The spread of the Gospel starts where we are, but it doesn’t stop there!

Jerusalem = our home
Judea = close to home, but not home - sub-cultures fit in here
Samaria = hostile territory - we don’t identify with these people at all
                - We are uncomfortable with them
                - We feel weird around them
                - This is where we’re going to feel like we’re going to get shaken up!

Catalytic events provide the substance for movement.

God always intended for His Kingdom to be GLOBAL. We need to find out where we fit in with that GLOBAL PLAN!!!!!
