The kingdom of God will become more evident in our society as more ‘ordinary’ Christians learn how to become more fully the person God wants them to be - wherever they are.
That's not just at church on Sunday mornings and Wednesday evenings. It's 9 to 5 too, Monday to Friday, every week of the year.
The Bands idea works for two main reasons: first, it offers you a place in which you can be real with other people about the challenges you face at work; second, it helps a group of people work together for a purpose.
It's about creating a community of Christians who pray and work together, for maximum kingdom influence in our offices, schools, factories and hospitals.
Bands is not the only answer. But it's a valuable part of the overall contribution we're all trying to make in today's world of work.
