I recently visited with some new friends at All about God.com here in Colorado Springs. God is truly using them in a unique way in helping people find relationship with the one true living God. The long and the short of it is they research the Internet search engines and find out key words that people are imputing that may be a key that would lead them on a journey towards the cross. So say Mr X was looking for something on Buda, Angels, Darwin or any number of subjects, they have masterfully created web sites some 260 plus and counting that they write in such a way that the seeker will find their site listed as the top choice in the search engine that gives the seeker the information that they are looking for as well as give them an opportunity to go on a journey that ultimately leads them to the Cross.

I asked them for their story of their journey which you will find if you click the link below. Take some time to visit their site.

‘Amanecer X’ for a New Generation

Not long ago while walking around the streets of Santiago, Chile a group of young people caught my attention. Their different clothes and long, colored hair made them stand out as much as their singing and playing on the downtown streets. Imagine my surprise at their choice of songs—Christian songs! They are the new Christian generation of the country.

Stopping to talk with them, they said they follow Jesus, but not in the traditional evangelical way of the older generations. They are committed to reach those that will never go to a traditional church. Their surprising response sparked my desire to research this phenomenon throughout Latin America.

Today Latin America is a young continent. Sixty percent of the population is between 1 and 34 years of age. 300 million people in this group are without any religious affiliation at all. This is the emerging generation people group that encompasses a variety of subcultures: hip hops, rockers and pops to mention a few.

Through my research I found that the church today is doing almost nothing to reach this generation. This group in Chile left the evangelical church because they did not feel welcome. The challenge to the church is what to do? What do we need to do to reach this new culture, or do we just forget them?

New places for sharing spirituality

With the up coming Emergent gathering in Nashville here is an excerpt from a local news web site:
Robbie Cheuvront made an unusual request before he started to play praise songs at a recent gathering of the young adult ministry of the Fairview Church. He reminded everyone to remember Mike, the bartender, and tip him well.
The group, which calls itself The Savage Generation, meets once a month at The Lady Godiva Pub, 300 N. Maple St. in Lebanon, to reach out to 20-somethings who are interested in talking about God in an unchurchlike atmosphere. More and more, church groups are meeting in bars or other nontraditional locations to reach out to people who might feel a little intimidated by churches and those who don't feel spiritual in traditional settings.
