welcome
the mission
mobilize believers into wholeness and Kingdom purpose, by engaging the stunning reality of being one with Jesus
Welcome to the new creation INN!
This site is for sharing vision about a new equipping forum called the new creation INN, inspired by the story of the Good Samaritan. The inn was a place of transformation, from brokenness to wholeness. (See the Good Samaritan passage HERE).
The primary focus and life-flow of the INN comes from engagement with the reality of the new creation - the Holy Spirit birth and baptism into union with Jesus together. This was central to the remarkable prayer Jesus prayed before He went to the cross to open the new creation reality and the answer to His prayer. (Check John 17:20-24).
Understanding new creation identity, and activating the walk of faith that taps its power, opens the way to people experiencing the reality of what they were created to become. None of this exists in the fallen realm, which is why new creation living is our highest priority, and greatest joy.
The INN is designed to help mobilize participants into purpose, taking their place in body life and kingdom expansion. It will transform their level of fruitfulness in every aspect of life, elevate their engagement with gifts and calling, and energize their passion. It will also enable them to store up enormous heavenly rewards. And the ultimate outcome? The Father's smile as he is glorified by their life. All this takes place in the context of body life, where there is integration with other participants for mutual support, and the development of experiences out of which anything is possible in the creativity of God.

WHY Luke 10:1-24
Jesus sends out the "others" because the harvest is plentiful and the workers are few
The task of reaching fallen humanity is vast and extremely urgent. The world's population is growing by 200,000 every day. Jesus urges the sending of workers into the harvest. The seventy were not the 12 chosen disciples. They are just called "others", ordinary people who Jesus sent to demonstrate and proclaim the Kingdom. Our purpose in the INN is to help mobilize ordinary believers into their full potential. They can then join more effectively with others, participating with Jesus as He brings blessing to the world.
WHAT Luke 10:25-37
Forming the INN: A New Creation equipping forum
The Good Samaritan would not have succeeded in helping the beaten-up man if there was no inn to take him to. Reading the story as a gospel parable, the beaten-up man is the whole fallen creation, and the Samaritan is Jesus, who came to seek and save the lost and bring His new creation solution! "INNs" are a forum where new believers can flourish in the new life, into wholeness and fruitfulness, and mobilized into purpose.
HOW Luke 10:38-42
Jesus commended Mary of Bethany for choosing the "one thing" that was necessary - taking time to listen to Him
Jesus said Mary chose the one thing that is necessary, sitting undistracted at His feet, listening to Him. The INN prioritizes engaging the stunning reality of being one with Jesus.
