It tends to limit the possibilites that may come up. also, it presumes the person answering the question knows better the God how define what the answer is to "wildest dreams." Doesn't God always exceed our expectations? I don’t like this question either.

Thousands of every race, age, and means wandering from one diversion to the next, whilst the church wrestles to right it's own challenges. Where are those who will leave the familiar and comfortable to bring light to those wandering in darkness? I pray for an army to rise within those wandering and walking dead, for perhaps only they will have the courage to show the way in the darkness. And p.s. GOD REND OUR HEARTS!

What are some of the main things we need to focus on to make our churches less like a foreign country to new people? For me these come to mind... fostering authenticity using relevant media and music running the church well so that confusion and uncertainty are minimized what else comes to mind? Great parallel.
