Pastors in Lisbon Pursue 2020
Lisbon, Portugal is full of history.
But beneath the dust of time, there lies a pioneer heart.
This nation produced some of the world's greatest explorers. Today, there is a hunger to recapture that forward-looking and courageous pioneer drive, not least among many Christian leaders.
The church in Portugal has not been known for producing innovative, culture-engaging Christian churches, but that may all be about the change, as Mal Fletcher discovered on a recent visit.
Invited to speak at a conference of church leaders from across the city, Mal found a group totally sold on the idea of moving quickly into a future-mindset and engaging the city at the point of its greatest needs.
Lecturing on 'The Church of 2020', Mal dealt with many of the obstacles that prevent institutional organisations from embracing change - and influence.
The sessions were so well received, that the Fraternal have invited Mal to continue the sessions next year.
Expect to see some change in churches in Portugal...

Having heard Mal speak at Hillsong Australia, I paid your websites a visit. I find your EDGES programs inspiring and educational. Thanks.

For Mal Fletcher: thank you kindly for the nice words about my book, "No Time To Think: The Menace of Media Speed and the 24-hour News Cycle". Glad you enjoyed it and felt a need to comment on it.
