Synopsis
Our hope at Outward Focused Network, is to come alongside you and empower you to be on mission. No matter who you are, it is vital to spend time with God and explore that relationship creatively. Creativity plays a major role in the missional process. Coming out of the work Dave Cole did with Re-Focus, the idea presented itself to create a coloring book that illustrated some of the ideas from our missional conversations. At face value, this is indeed a coloring book; however, it can be much, much more. As you color and flip through the pages, may you encounter God with every stroke. When you encounter scriptures or thoughts throughout the book, we encourage you to enter into them with an open heart and a creative mind. As you are creative with color, ask the Holy Spirit to give you creative outward-focused ideas. This book is designed to become your prayer journal, using the ACTS plus I model. Adoration, Confession, Thanksgiving, Supplication, and Intercession are the building blocks to a powerful prayer journal. There is nothing special about these designs; but, if you are willing, the Lord can do some powerful work as you pray in color.
