Thurman Update 34, Written August 9th, 2007

Three Pillars of Antioch Network:
 Reaching the Nations with the Gospel—Making Apprentices(disciples)to Jesus
 Serving the Church in its role in reaching the nations
 A pursuit of intimacy with God

We are involved in starting & supporting kingdom works of:
 Reconciliation—working for ethnic, social, and spiritual unity and reconciliation through Jesus
 Compassion—serving the poor and least of these by addressing the needs of the whole person
 Justice—Standing on the side of Justice and advocating for the voiceless and powerless
 Service—serving national leaders and ministries through prayer, training, and resource
 Evangelism—sharing the gospel through building intentional friendships

The international areas of involvement for the Thurman family are:
 Bosnia—Service/Compassion/Reconciliation
 Cyprus—Evangelism/Reconciliation
 Turkey—Service
 Germany—Reconciliation
 Senegal—Service
 India—Compassion/ Justice
 Mexico—Compassion / Justice/Service

When we are not overseas supporting these various works we are serving Antioch Network stateside through administration work and assisting Jayson K. and the International Turkey Network.

We are also working to develop Apprenticeship to Jesus as a model for discipleship that will train young people for a life of fruitfulness in the context of missional communities here in Phoenix that are involved in works of Compassion, Justice, Reconciliation, and Service, trusting that this model can be reproduced in any cross-cultural setting.
