Facebook, emails, FaceTime, Skype calls, articles, and phone calls, have all been ignited as we dream, discuss and debate our path forward as an international family of churches. Around the world, disciples continue to pray and fast seeking the Spirit\u2019s guidance.\u00a0Disciples Today has never seen so much traffic to understand our current leadership and check in for the updates and results of this global exploration. We have seen the results of conversations by more than 2,500 leaders from all six continents. Young and old, rich and poor, men and women, staff and volunteers alike are continuing to be heard in this conversation about our collective future. Many have said \u201cI have been praying for this day to come\u201d; while others have suggested that we \u201cslow down, these are really big things to consider and we should be more thorough.\u201d We are a family of 108,000 members in 684 congregations in 144 countries. A big family gets a little complicated and we are grateful for the Holy Spirit and the blood of Jesus that bind us together in love and respect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All 34 regional family leaderships are participating in this process! Last month\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/disciplestoday.org\/clone\/clone\/icoc-3-0-forward-by-faith-update-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ICOC 3.0 Update #2<\/a> reported the results of the regional discussions. Four families of churches submitted supplemental reports that were distributed to all the leadership teams and Task Forces. The global perspective expressed in our regional conversations followed very closely with the results generated by the service team meetings in Dallas in April. We have consensus on these crucial items:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>We are and want to be a global family of churches.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>We are committed to God\u2019s mission to evangelize the world.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>We need to change to be more effective.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>There is a wide lack of understanding of how our current global leadership works.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Over the last three years, two global leadership surveys, Delegates Meeting discussions and the Service Team meetings in Dallas last April led us to believe the time had come to consider improving our functionality and organization as a global family.&nbsp;<strong>The Service Teams who met in Dallas made only one decision: to take the conversations home to each of our regional families of churches&nbsp;<\/strong>. As a great sign of our commitment to each other and God\u2019s mission, every single family of churches in our fellowship sacrificed time and money to gather together to pray and explore where their convictions are leading them about our future together. We have heard a wide range of perspectives both pro and con. In answer to many prayers, the consensus with a majority of leaders is that it is time to move forward in some way in five general categories. Respected Elders and Evangelists were asked to chair and assemble Task Forces to begin to provide possible solutions for the issues that have been identified.&nbsp;<strong>We trust the Holy Spirit working through all of our brothers and sisters and look forward to what will be revealed for our next steps.&nbsp;<\/strong>The Task Forces have been working diligently since mid-July with many hours of labor and weekly conference calls. They are an impressive collection of people from a wide range of spiritual backgrounds and diverse geographies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"communications\">Communications<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Chairman \u2013 Justin Renton, Johannesburg \u2013 Evangelist;
