Here is an update on the CWF from myself, John Warlow. I hope that Carolyn, John and Inga Hart will also be able to contribute. At the moment, the CWF is being used to serve
1. men’s ministry in Brisbane. This is being headed up by Andy Pocock. He is trying to find a Web name for this ministry, which will also serve women, various age groups and families. I went to a small group (” pod”) with Andy and some others this morning. It was amazing as we connected and understood with each other just to see how people are using the TRINAGLE, doing “twos and threes” in such a powerful way, to the extent that when someone goes away for a break, the other is left like “frozen in front of the headlights”! (Just to express how important doing twos and threes is.) it was amazing being open with others IN s.a.f.e.t.y., and to see how they in their everyday lives are having Christ as the centre of their rotation, the quite place in the eye of the storm, the central part of the CIRCLES even when things are really struggling below the water level of the SQUARE. Seeing people move more to the right-hand side of the square to the left even the bottom right-hand corner (even godly suffering) is so inspiring. Not alone! Andy and crew (especially Gary) have set up with Citipointe Church (COC Brisbane) the next camp — in September. Wow!
2. The Lausanne movement! Just got back from Korea (managing to miss the missiles and not bring any pigs {swine flu} back with me). It was an amazing privilege to be invited to the leadership meeting. Actually, I was mainly there to be with Brad Smith, an amazing unassuming and non-arrogant American. He is a psychologist amongst other things. He got a group of us together in Mexico in January. The passion of Lausanne is ” the whole Gospel through the whole church to the whole world”. Brad is also focusing on “the whole person”. At this stage, the CWF is being invited to assist Brad in this, depending on what he wants. One of his passions in is that when people come to the amazingly strategic third conference of the Lausanne movement in Cape Town, 2010, that they will have an experience themselves of growing as a whole person so that they themselves can be more empowered be a part of the whole Gospel, through the whole church to the whole world.
3. The UK. Dr Carolyn Russell and Dr Hazel Baron along with Inga Hart are preparing for the second conference in the UK (check it out on the website)
4. In Asia, is being used in a cross-cultural setting in the context of the church as well as and counselling. Amazing and now has been going on for over three years.

Anyway, this is some of what the CWF is doing. Feel free to comment.
