Off The Map is providing a unique and critical service to the church today. No one else focuses on “doable” evangelism in practical and compelling ways like Off the Map. No one matches their sincere sensitivity to the needs and questions of today’s majority culture. I am excited to be associated with Off The Map and believe that they are pioneering important new territory for the 21st Century church.

Not very many people are willing to be missionaries to the new culture around us; some fear it, others judge it, and still others are afraid of the judgment of their peers were they to “get involved” with contemporary people. I like Off The Map because they dove in to the postmodern (or whatever you call it) culture as a true missionary - seeking to listen before talking and wanting to understand prior to being understood. And, unlike some, they have not lost the ability to announce the Good News of the Gospel - they just do it in a way that is “ordinary” and ordinary people love them for it. For that matter, so do the ordinary Christian leaders who attend OTM events.

When I attended my first Off The Map Conference, I was blown away by the seriousness and the reality that I found in the speakers and in the content. Finally, I had come upon a group of people who were consumed with the passion and the purpose of reaching our world for Christ. If you’re sick and tired of playing at church and just talking about sharing your faith in a world content to live in shadows, then Off The Map is the experience you’ve been looking for. My warning is, if you don’t want your perspective changed and your assumptions challenged, stay away. But if you’re looking for an experience in an atmosphere that is amazingly open and surprisingly forthright, then attend any and every Off The Map conference that you possibly can. It will stimulate you, feed you, and remind you of why you answered the greatest call in the entire world: and that is to move your life and entire resources in the direction of what God is blessing.
