From a pastor-friend:

We seek to encourage each person to see that God has placed them where they live, engaging with the people they meet each day, to live the kingdom.

The Melbourne Pastors Network consultation last year on Monday Church focussed on this. A DVD of Brian Medway’s presentation is available from MPN. For those who haven’t tapped in to Australian Marketplace Connections http://www.marketplaceconnections.com , this is also a great resource to encourage believers to live the gospel in their workplaces.

Vision

“To build the Kingdom of God in the Marketplace”.

Mission

Connecting

To network the Christian community’s capacity to rise up under the unction of the Holy Spirit and implement the mandates of God in the marketplace.

Collaborating

To work together in bringing a synergy of gifts and resources to the task of building the Kingdom of God in the marketplace.

Catalysing

To ignite a chain reaction that will transform the marketplace into a place of Christian discipleship. We want every Christian to be an effective ambassador of Jesus Christ and to work in strategic teams in their daily occupations (2 Cor 5:20, Matt 18:19-20).
