What I have come to appreciate about Fordelm working through Natural Church Development is that our time together is much more than just a church growth programme. Our time is more about connecting to a renewal movement. Fordelm helps our churches become healthier, more alive and more fruitful without asking them to abandon their traditions. Fordelm reminds us that genuine growth is not something we manufacture through programmes or effort; our role is to cultivate the conditions for life and cooperate with what God is already doing.
