Shifting Stats; Shaking the Church

Yesterday, I spent the afternoon with Rev. Dr. Don Moore and teaching pastor (The Meeting House), Bruxy Cavey to discuss shifting stats and how this is shaking the church.  Stats were shared, such as the changing face of Canadians and its relation to the body of Christ.  Other stats, such as 32% of Canadians went to church on Christmas (2013) drove us to discuss how we can make the gospel more accessible to our neighbours.  This eventually led to this map of  Lacombe I passed around which demonstrated where some of the Christians live (as churches of Lacombe literally took turns laying this map out after a Sunday service for the members to mark where they live).  Looking at the map below it would be magnificent if each Christian would simply stay home more often in order to "love their neighbours."  Better yet, that each household would find another 'person of peace' (Luke 10) who would join them in loving their neighbourhood...motivated by the unconditional love they were given!
