As a young child I had Noah’s Ark themed bedsheets. Many nurseries are painted with animals on the ark. This is quite ironic, when you consider the catastrophic nature of the flood. It’s like having scenes from Hurricane Katrina on your child’s wall. And as one participant noted in Round 2 of THE Story, the [...]

THE Story round two!
Posted: February 21, 2012 by mikehanafee in Soma School, THE Story, Uncategorized0
While we are definitely not a building centered ministry, there is a beautiful old church less than a mile away that I dream about as a worship space & community center. Getting it would require the same power that divided the Red Sea! The place needs much work & would cost a lot to restore. [...]
Video: Jesus builds His Church His way through average people like us!
Posted: January 21, 2011 by mikehanafee in Core Values, Soma School, VisionTo show & tell the gospel in 48202 in order to make disciple-making disciples – that’s what we are about at Restore. Of critical importance, then, is our understanding of the church. Namely, what is the church & how is it to function? One of the contributing influences in answering this question from Scripture has [...]
When we were at Soma School we heard the “Story of God”. What a refreshing way to look at the Bible. The Bible is a story and should be read as one. The whole point of the Bible also is JESUS. From Soma Web Site: For thousands of years, stories and oral traditions were the [...]

Then with some new church planter friends from Missouri & San Francisco we enjoyed [...]

Get some rhythm ~ Some School: Day 3
Posted: May 14, 2010 by cletebontrager in Soma School, UncategorizedWe have much to process after another gospel packed day at Soma. We completed the walk thru The Story ending in Revelation with goose bumps & tears of joy. In the afternoon we walked through the rhythms of life which provide opportunities to display & declare by the power of the Spirit the love of [...]
Woke up 5/12 to a run up some backbreaking hills in Gig Harbor before rehydrating with coffee. Morning session was a continuation The Story through the end of the Old Testament. Then in the afternoon Jeff brought it on Gospel Identities & What Shapes the Church? Some powerful quotes: Whatever God commands He provides. Maybe [...]
So here is my first attempt of posting at resdetroit.org via my Iphone. The plan is to give a daily updates, consisting of a short summary & some pictures. Yesterday (5/11), after lots of preparation (mostly by Susan) for being away at Soma School for a whole week we said goodbye to our 5 children. [...]
