Depth, engagement, justice-making, incarnation Place: We must meet all the needs Matt 28:18-20 Breadth to the nations. Extent, discipling, proclamation Mobile: We must hurry to preach

Paradigm 2: The Gospel of the Jubilee (Luke:4:18,19 - Lev 25) When Jesus spoke Luke 4:18, what did people understand he was saying? He was blowing a trumpet, declaring freedom, declaring an acceptable year - these go back to the Jubilee. It is the good news of eternal Jubilee. The good news is economic The good news is a good news of justice – it changes oppression and injustice. The good news is communal – it requires communal responses, it results in new community, new social structures. And the good news is spiritual –liberating our spirits.

The Goals: More than MATUL In 1991 we set out to evangelize the cities over 100, of them unevangelized, now 12,000 Five phases to transform a city-state The gospel reaching the slums The slums evangelized with movements of 10,000 in each city Some slums transformed - this requires the MATUL Transformation beginning to move up to the middle/upper classes Transformation of the ruling elites

Are you committed to the broader goal? Are you just fulfilling a role in your school? IS this a way to academic advantage?
