Several missional communities out of MBC Loudoun in Lansdowne, VA (http://www.mbcloudoun.org/) embarked upon a journey to develop a deeper understanding of missional-incarnational community (John 1:14, 20:21) with the following goals:
1. Understanding of Kingdom life.
2. Encouraging personal growth and increasingly missional lifestyles.
3. Enhancing existing missional – incarnational communities.
Above graphic from: “The Tangible Kingdom Primer” page 17.
As a study guide, the group used “The Tangible Kingdom Primer” by Hugh Halter and Matt Smay, Missio Publishing, 2009.
Please visit http://www.tangiblekingdom.com to learn more and pick up a copy of the “TK Primer.” This resource is one of the best available for guiding heart change leading to missional-incarnational lifestyles and helping to practically discover the good works God prepared beforehand, for each person and missional group! (Eph. 2:10).
Apollos Leadership supplemented the ‘TK Primer’ with works from many practicing missiologists and their own experience, and captured this expanded material in Prezi presentations. These presentations are provided below and may be used freely for God’s purposes. Click the following thumbnails for the multimedia Prezi presentations:

How ready are you to embrace a new way of thinking and living? Please contact us if you think we might be of any assistance in your personal missional discipleship, or if you are a leader, your church’s missional transformation.
Our passion is to help people learn to live incarnationally, to:
…know Him well enough to see it,
…know His Word well enough to get it, and
…know His heart well enough to do it.
Seeing it – recognizing where God is working, expecting it because we know His character.
Getting it – knowing His Word, how He’s worked in the past, and His revealed will.
Doing it – knowing His heart and aligning our hearts to break as His…for the lost, broken and needy.
“Go now with God; be not tempted to stay in the safety of known places. Move from where you are to where God points. Go now with God; be not tempted to go only in your time, when it suits, when it is sure, for now is God’s time. Go now with God; choose not to go alone. Go in the faith that there is not wilderness so vast, that God is not already there to show you the way.” Byzantine Benediction
