Next Wave International
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Next Wave International is a Christian mission to contemporary cultures with a special focus on Europe [1].
Pioneered and led by Christian author, speaker and broadcaster Mal Fletcher, Next Wave International is sharing an evangelical Christian message with audiences in conferences, festivals, concerts, churches and leadership events[2].
The organisation is also involved in producing TV programmes, such as the magazine documentary series Edges with Mal Fletcher which can be seen in many countries on satellite, cable and terrestrial TV stations [3].
The Next Wave Online website is a source of mostly free resources to equip Christians for influence in the post-modern age. It also features news on what the organisation is doing in Europe [4].
The organisation, set up in 1994, hosts the annual Strategic Leadership Consultation, a forum for Christian denominational and church network leaders [5], as well as MasterClass training events which equip church and community leaders to deal with future change.
[edit] Next Wave Magazine
Next Wave magazine was founded by Charlie Wear around 2001. The stated objectives were to bring together Christians from all walks of life, including pastors, church planters and leaders across denominational and national borders, who want to reach out to people in postmodern culture, and who understand that, in order to do so, significant changes need to be made in the way we run and organize our churches.
Next-Wave has collected some significant articles over the years, furthering the conversation around the gospel and culture. Contributors have been quoted in books such as the recent work by Gibbs and Bolger as well as Robert Webber.
