The Relationship Movement

OIP-37

We are living in unprecedented times. Long-held beliefs are unraveling in front of our eyes. Things are happening so fast, we can hardly recognize the world from one day to the next. Judeo-Christian values can no longer be assumed. The history we are currently writing is like runaway trucks careening willy-nilly into the future with no real direction other than the personal ambitions of those at the wheel.

Fifty years ago, a Jesus Movement brought clarity to the political and social confusion of the times. There was a void in the heart of a generation that only a spiritual renewal could fill. Today there is a similar void in the middle of an upcoming generation of Millennials that a concert or a crusade or a mass rally will not fill. Our current society is fragmented into so many tiny pieces that it seems fruitless to try and put it back together again. Certainly not one talk our one event will do it. It will take a new commitment to impart what is necessary — a commitment to relationships.

Fifty years ago, we needed a Jesus Movement to set us on the right track again, today we need a Relationship Movement albeit one still centered around Jesus — the real Jesus that can be imparted over time through the walking and talking of a living relationship.

Only through a relationship can you impart the depth of what is needed to follow Christ and change the times, and relationships are what Millennials are seeking. Raised on the internet, many of them do not even know what they are missing.

When Jesus said, “Go and make disciples,” this was exactly what He was talking about. He didn’t say “Go make converts,” or “Go make clones,” or even “Go make believers,” He said “Go make disciples.” He might as well have said, “Go make relationships,” because that is how you make a disciple as Jesus did. You walk and talk. Go make relationships that will turn us all into disciples, because we are disciples together learning to follow the Lord.

This is why our mission is so important.

It’s important to understand that in 2012, the Catch Ministry’s founders bought real estate in cyberspace and incorporated it as a cyber church for the sole purpose of developing disciples, or boots on the ground, so that we might make real its vision, which to introduce the Gospel of Welcome — grace turned outward — to everyone, everywhere. They were getting us ready for the next great movement in history — the Relationship Movement. You are in at the ground level of something extraordinary. We are making history.

But we cannot embark on this transformative journey without your invaluable support. Your belief and your participation make all the difference.

Join the next movement — the Relationship Movement. Ignite change now.
