Missions?

I am co-chairman of our church's Missions Committee. How hard can that be? I am a missionary. My band plays to the non-churched, Youth, Young adults. We consider ourselves a "mission" band. Well 'do'ing missions and 'committee'ing missions are two different things. I have heard that a camel is a horse built by committee. I can believe it. Everyone has great intentions and ideas. But what do we do? I have the philosophy "Do something it might be right!" and "Rudders will not steer a ship that is sitting still!" I like moving. I prefer errors of "commission" over errors of "omission".

How do we start moving as a church? From the mathematician in me, Everything breaks down into a formula. The church is just people. So for the church to move, people have to move. I am people. Therefore for the the church to move, it's up to me to move.

If I make a mistake, they can just shoot me. But from what I have seen at most places, others will just talk about me and what I am doing wrong. So my goal should be get them talking about me. 'Cause if they are not talking, I must not be doing!
