Only through the viral process of
multiplying multiplication . . .
will we ever see the humanly impossible task accomplished, that Jesus Christ gave all of us, given the complexity of the world we live in today. Daniel forsaw this in a prophetic vision and said: “The rock that struck the statue became a huge mountain and filled the whole earth” (Dan 2:35).
Thats exactly the challenge. However, rather than creating one more human organization, mission agency or church network, what would happen if Jesus himself would start to arrange all of us in such a way that we would fit his plans, rather than us trying to make him fit into ours? What if we would stop asking God to bless what we are doing, and start doing what he is blessing? There is a new spirit tangible all over the world, inspired by the fascinating reality of the Kingdom of God that Jesus started, that is plain better than Communism, Capitalism and even Christinity as we know it. What could happen if God would bring together all his people from around the world, those from within traditional church systems, those from the new, organic house church networks and those completely outside any churchy system, those that are followers of the King, Jesus, but are not fitting any more into denominational factions, would start laying down their crowns and swords, their logos, plans and budgets before their King and allow him to build them into the apostolic people, that species with a divine mission he has always intended all of us to be? The sky would be the limit.
Enter Starfish. The name is hopefully ridiculous enough to not make anyone think this is a new organization, church or network that looks for members. Whatever God thought when he created the animal, a starfish is simply amazing in its ability to reproduce. An almost prophetic symbol of multiplication. Cut a starfish any way you like, not only will its legs grow back, but the cut off legs will regrow into – yet another starfish!
We invite you to download the electronic booklet The Starfish Vision (889), a pdf file, get either infected with a vision that maybe either completely new to you or, more likely, puts words to something that has already captured you. Later, you can always go find out other digital resources of a rather explosive kind at the Starfish download page. NOW up: The Starfish Manifesto (2620).
Before you can go there, we would like you to familiarize yourself with the Starfish principles of a totally new distribution system for such catalytic resources that, sorry, will not be able to be bought or sold in the traditional sense. The Kingdom is not like Babylon; it has its own economic reality, and we invite you to to be part of it.
Blessings,
