Imagine Singapore / Imagine Church

I AM SO EXCITED! The stuff that this big global movement is going towards is exactly in line with what I am imagining for SOT's future youth initiatives!

better yet, I wanna take the methodologies and run it in church youth ministries as well. cool stuff cool stuff. Wow, incredibly simple but you need someone to put it in words and action to see how much possibility is out there for the taking

From the woman Bliss Browne, the ex-banker / Anglican pastor who founded it:
"Hope is a choice not a feeling. We must tune ourselves into the frequency of hope and listen each other into hope by the questions we ask and the questions we live.

What dreams or whispers are at the heart of your own life that may be seeking your commitment? What do you want to learn? What impresses your heart right now? What small change could you make that might make a big difference? How could you make solidarity with the stranger a daily practice? Who might stand with you?

Hope, the willingness to celebrate what can be, brings with it remarkable resources for creative connections. I draw courage from being in the company of others who are committed to transforming institutions and communities through learning and who are working to create a future worthy of our hope. Take the risk of living into your questions and commitments without needing all the answers. Actively seek the company of others willing to learn and to hold you accountable to your highest hopes.

Live from the inside out. And you will discover blessing coming alive in you."
