Missions

[close] Our title is a playful nod to C.S. Lewis’s 1944 lecture, "The Inner Ring." In it, Lewis warns against the subtle temptation to chase ever‑smaller, more exclusive circles — the “in crowd” — at the cost of integrity and joy. The “Outer Ring” flips that idea on its head: we welcome the mix of familiar and unfamiliar voices, valuing curiosity, honesty, and genuine connection over status or secrecy. Here, the only ring worth joining is the one that stays open.

[close] This group is for people to share which books they're reading about Christian missions and missionaries. We've all read some great ones about what God is doing in the world that have really challenged our own faith, too. Lets hear what books have challenged others!

[close] 20 years ago a scientist experiment a way for humans to have power. He would steal the children from birth who had no hope of surviving. He would then infuse them with a gene that chamged them. Two years after his first failed experiment he succeeded and tuen created 7 originals. The children looked so beautiful that the scientist named it the Rose Experiment. The government was looking for this scientist for they thought of hi, as an evil man. When they found him they shot him dead in his garden. The government then took the children and placed them in safe homes. Years after that the organization ROSE appears with the 6 originals with others just like them who were later created by the government. The files about the rose experiments have been taken and fallen to evil hands. They have created there own version of the rose experiment called the dark haven experiment. Now you can choose who you want to fight with. The Roses or the Dark Havens?

[close] Ekklesia or Ecclesia is the word that we use in the greek for Church. I'd like to build a virtual Ekklesia around the world with those who want to build a community of goodreads that love the body of Christ around the world and want to see the great commission fulfilled.
