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...

Thanks for producing EDGES, which isn’t like some televangelist shows! See you next time you come to Planetshakers!

I've been listening to a lot of the EDGES shows online and find them highly intellectual and factual and extremely interesting. They're so useful in building my understanding of real issues seen from Christian eyes... I love it! Thanks.
