Allelon

One of the best Coffee gathering places in the country is in Eagle, Idaho near Boise.  I say gathering place because Rembrandt's Coffee House is so much more than a dispenser of fine coffee drinks and great food.  Rembrandt's is a synergistic initiator of community and life.  Rembrandt's is a missional "third place" nurtured by Mark Priddy, his family and friends.  Mark established the Allelon Foundation to move forward the Missional Church and Leadership movement.  The Allelon web site is filled with great content and resources.  Check it out.  I love these guys.  Today has been a good day - sitting in Rembrandt's all day sharing stories and life with Mark.  A day with Mark plotting goodness refuels my passion to cooperate with God's Kingdom Agenda in radical ways.
