Acts 29 Experiment

Below are all the published resources from the Acts 29 Experiment integrated series, conducted in May-July 2009.

Resources may be used in ministry situations but must not be sold.What would it look like for a group of followers of Jesus to take seriously his mandate to make disciples of all nations? The first century got a glimpse when the eleven disciples, empowered by the Holy Spirit, went into all the known world to live as missional agents of God’s love, peace and justice as they shared the life-giving message of Jesus to everyone they could.

Today, there is a need for the followers of Jesus to again take up the mandate of the King to reach a dying world with the gospel of Christ. The ministry of the Book of Acts in the New Testament did not finish with the close of chapter 28. It continues…today!

Welcome to the Acts 29 Experiment. Over the next month or two, our church is invited to join an exciting experiment to live as missional agents of Jesus connecting with friends, family and co-workers in everyday scenarios – at work, uni, the movies, in the local park, over the side fence, or in the lounge room. We are going to go where people are who need to know Jesus…and they are not found inside the walls of the church building. We will be going to the streets of inner-city Woolloomooloo to share with the homeless. We will take in the sights, sounds and smells of another culture – right here in a suburb of Sydney. We will be inviting friends to go to a movie and reflect on what you saw together. Come with us as we venture outside the safety of the church walls and into God’s world, just like Jesus did nearly 2000 years ago. It all begins on Sunday May 3 at TCBC. Get ready for a life changing experience!
