Pursuing a Post-modern paradigm

The O'Brien family has been on a protracted search for ministry destiny since October last year. On September 24 we will board a flight to Boston, MA. to take what we trust is a huge step forward towards our destiny. I will be probationally joining an ex-South African pastor's team in the Southern Suburbs of Boston. As a family we hold onto a sense of God's promise as we step into many unknown factors in the months ahead.

The move to the East coast of America is in keeping with a prophetic sense I felt in 1997 and a passion to become a voice for God in a post-modern context similar to that of Europe. However it is exciting to consider the times we live in. Global influence is the order of the day so we needn't leave Africa behind.

During the last few years at Urban edge I became convinced that God wanted a church in Durbanville that was like the biblical picture of "A City on a Hill".

Sometimes we hear from God. but what we hear only makes sense later in time. I look forward to moving forward through time and making sense of God's destiny for our lives.
