Missional Done Well
Does anyone have examples of the idea of missional done well? The word seems to be the new buzz word along with Incarnation. I understand the idea and to be honest didn’t know you needed a word to be it but that is just me being smart. This just guarantees I have no friends is really what it guarantees.
Anyway, I would love to read about missional fellowships done well. This came up because recently I was reading a group who called themselves missional and yet all I could get from their site was that they watched Monday Night Football together with a Bible Study at halftime. Maybe that is missional but it seems like it means something more than that. Maybe I don’t even understand the concept.
One person who probably embodies the idea of missional incarnation is Mike Exum. I drop in from time to time on his blog to find out what he is doing. Please note I am not looking for theories or ideas or idealized speech, I want cold hard case studies.
Any other good examples? Bad examples? Buehler, Buehler?

The campus ministries at Bay Area church of Christ and the University City Church of Christ in Tampa, FL and Gainesville, FL are missional and do a great job. Lynn Stringfellow and Donny Dillon do a wonderful job at making sure all they do is through an "evangelism filter," that is, everything they do is purposely geared toward evangelism. They have grown tremendously.
I agree with you, there is certainly a lot of hype out there that keeps us talking about issues rather than actually doing some ministry.
Thanks for the info Matt.
Head on over to my blog - we are talking about this and theres some examples floating around there - try the interview with wes allen.
Thanks Missional Jerry.
Pefect timing.
I am reading Organic Church and I just finished The Way of Jesus.
Aslan is on the move.
