ian adams has produced give me a drink available on proost – it’s a really fabulous resource with 21 sketches for mission. ian describes it…
Give Me A Drink is a series of sketches or reflections around the possibility of mission as the healing of all things. It is offered as a resource for all who find themselves transfixed or intrigued by the tradition of Jesus, as we seek to work out how the idea of mission in his name and in his spirit might be rediscovered and offered as a gift to the world. Give Me A Drink is for individuals and for groups, for communities and for churches, for those undertaking new projects and for those in long-established settings. It is of course not a definitive statement on mission, and I hope that readers will find themselves considering what they might add in to the conversation
one of the things i really like about ian’s writing is language. he carefully selects words and phrases that make what might be jargon make sense so it has a depth but is expressed in simple ways. it is interspersed with his photos. great for reflection, for group discussion. i think it would look good on a series of postcards!
