Denver Network Meeting 11/13/09

Meeting took place at Denver Seminary with about 25 people. After pizza (thanks, Susan!) we broke up into three regional groups – west, north and east. We checked in with each other (SASHET) in our groups and then spent time listening to the Lord. “What do You want to say to us about Denver?” After the listening time, each person shared what they had heard. As they shared, a picture began to emerge like the pieces of a puzzle coming together. The following is a compilation of what we heard. Perhaps this is a sort of prophetic message about Denver. Please weigh this (question, add to, change, etc.).

Comment: No one came to the Meeting with an agenda for Denver. The agenda (or picture) emerged out of a group of people connecting with each other on the heart level and out of listening to the Lord together.

The unifying picture was of the city of Denver covered with beautiful flowers. The picture and the flowers were marked by being very fresh, crisp and clear.

Currently the seeds for those flowers are under the ground but they are beginning to pop up. A few at first but then more with increasing regularity. Like popcorn beginning to pop. The seeds will multiply 30, 60 and 100 fold. Small and simple but result in viral multiplication.

The sense was that the flowers were not just house churches but regional networks of house churches. That tonight as we break into three groups for the first time is just the beginning of the multiplication of these groups. The day will come when there will be groups like this all over the city.

Some of the regional networks (flowers): Golden, Thornton, Commerce City, Aurora, Parker, Centennial, Arvada, Wheatfield, Highlands Ranch, Five Points, University Park, Littleton, Englewood, Glendale, etc.

Next step.

The day will also come when this room (at the Seminary) will be filled at the quarterly meeting of the entire Denver Network. Remember this night when there are only a few of us.

Pay close attention to your DNA. What you are now will be multiplied 30, 60 and 100 fold. Two primary aspects of the DNA…

1. Transparency.

2. Listen and obey.

　

Other things that were shared…

1. CO2s are proving to be a foundational form of church. Transformation is occurring through them. They form the basis for house church. They are multiplying (Noah – 10 pairs, Russ – 5-6 pairs). The Denver CO2 “virus” has spread to India (Hugh).

2. Several people led to begin prayer walking their neighborhood.

3. Regional networks can bring unity to Denver. Don’t be afraid to partner with traditional churches.

4. We are seeing the multiplication of starfish-like groups (Book: The Starfish and the Spider)

5. God is excited to be with us. (If He used SASHET with us, what would He say?)

6. God wants to start a church in the DTC (Sean). Prayed for a person of peace.

7. What else?

Sean had a strong exhortation to us about this. See his notes. Genuine honest heart level sharing. SASHET as a spiritual discipline to help with this. Each regional group (North – Hobby, East – Sean, West – Nick) will plan to meet monthly for the next two months (Dec and Jan). Quarterly meeting in Feb (Susan).
