Missio Dei is featured in a new Star Tribune article. You can find it here. Besides one benign error (translating Missio Dei into “House of God” instead of “Mission of God”), I think the articles is great. Pam Miller, the writer of the article did her research and treated our community with respect throughout the process of writing the article.

Got something to say?
Christarchy! is a growing network of small groups for people who want to put the ethical teachings of Jesus into practice.
Submergent is a network of leaders who, embracing the Anabaptist impulse, are living into the Kingdom of God in a postmodern, post-colonial, post-Christian world. Together, we will re-baptize the Christian imagination!
Anchored in the West Bank neighborhood of Minneapolis, Missio Dei is committed to following Jesus' way of peace, simplicity, prayer, and hospitality.
The Missio Dei Breviary includes morning and evening prayers for one month. Edited (and freely shared) by Missio Dei, it draws primarily upon the Gospels, reflects Anabaptist convictions, and emphasizes missional commitment.

Thanks dude. This year will be a very important one for Missio Dei.
Pray for me if you think of it. Next week I’m going in to talk to Greg Bourgond about the future possibilities of teaching “ML250.” In the near future I’d also like to explore the possibility of doing additional adjunct work. Since I’ve already done at least some adjunct work and since I’ll hopefully begin doctoral work in the next year or so, Dr. Bourgond might be willing to entertain me handling classes like discipleship or evangelism…or perhaps other new classes like ML250. I’m planning on starting a Th.D. in 2007 at the University of South Africa (something integrating North American missiology and Theological ethics).
Teaching is something that energizes me. I care a lot about the Church–my passion for the Church is behind almost everything I do. If I can do a couple classes a year, it would be very rewarding (and would provide some nice supplemental income).
Very nice article. I hope it bears much sweet tasting fruit for you.
Great article, Mark! You’ve finally found the fame and fortune you’ve been seeking
