11. Peter Roennfeldt – What is church?

As we began Praxeis our friend Peter Roennfeldt was very foundational. We studied the book of Acts together as we were forming team and church in the western suburbs of Melbourne. We found ourselves sitting with Peter in cafes, African restaurants and the like, reading and praying together. In this season, the story Acts and the birth of the early church became a living church planting manual for us. Peter is unwavering in his commitment to scripture. Jesus and the early church becomes the forma...

Listen to this exciting report coming straight out the fields of Gypsy villages in Transylvania.

7. Starting the Journey – Jason and Myra

Stories like Jason and Myra's journey into making disciples are really important. They have grown from knowing 'about' making disciples to actually being practitioners in the game. From theory to practise. Starting as missionaries, involved in a busy communications ministry, they were challenged to move from 'packaging and broadcasting the gospel' to engaging and discipling the lost. This is what is so good about their story. There are many principles here we can learn from. We all start from ou...

5 – Sue Ash

After farewelling Toby, we are thrilled to introduce Sue Ash, our new Praxeis Chair. We know in Eph 4:11-12 Paul talks about the gifts God gives to help the church grow. They were apostles, prophets, evangelist, pastors and teachers. The gifts God gave were ‘people gifts’. God generously gives people to help his body to grow. Praxeis is in a new season. We are growing, and growth requires change. We are excited about the gift that Sue brings, or the gift that Sue is to Praxeis as we continue to ...

3 – Out of England

Disciple Making Movements are growing exponentially around the globe. In hard to reach places, amongst the most unlikely scenarios, often amidst severe persecution. Currently there are well over 1000 explosive movements under way. Where are they not taking root? In the West. The Western world (Europe, North America, Australia etc) is traditionally the heartland and centre of Christianity. But the Church is in great decline in places like Europe. Increasingly the church, once the centre of cultur...

1 – Toby Hall

Welcome to our new podcast 'Conversation as you Go'. We start this week talking with our past Chair Toby Hall. Toby has been chair of Praxeis for 10 years, and sadly his tenure is up. We wanted to say a huge thanks to Toby for all his hard work, and also hear any input he might have. It was a fantastic conversation with Toby, to hear his heart as we look back at what God has done, the future of the Church in the West and vision for the future.
