Welcome to Luke Dalach’s Blog
I live in Northwest Indiana, Crown Point to be exact, and I started to blog because I like to write and want to be helpful to others. My family and some friends are at the very beginning stage of starting a church as a network of missional communities in NW Indiana.I mostly blog about faith - following Jesus in today's world. You can join the discussion by leaving comments.

Our Connections and Networks
We are missionaries/"church planters" (I prefer "disciple-makers") with the Ecclesia Network, in ministry partnership with Great Commission Ministries.
We are being coached through 3DM, and love the reproducible disciple-making framework they teach.
And of course we are a part of the Church worldwide, all of Jesus' followers, his Bride. But they don't have a website for that ;)-

Excellent Grad Program!
I highly recommend the MAGL (Master of Arts of Global Leadership) at Fuller Seminary. It was an amazing experience for me- highly relational, interactive, practical and missional.
Dead dude I’m learning from- Bonhoeffer
I've been reading Eric Metaxes' biography on Dietrich Bonhoeffer lately. I usually like to read biographies before bed, but this one is too action packed to help me sleep. Bonhoeffer was an amazing mix of scholar and disciple-maker. Teacher and trainer. Love it!
Loving all things missional
