Clearing Waters

When people are truly engaged in meaningful learning it is most often messy looking. We have presented some ideas to the pastors that, although they are looking for ways to sustain their flocks, are challenging some of their usual ways of doing things and will involve some initial risk taking. They have been wrestling with these ideas the first two days of the retreat. If they weren't, God would not be working deeply within them. They would either be giving us lip service to considering the ideas or they would be rejecting the ideas outright.  They are not doing either of those. They are debating and challenging the truths that God has allowed us to bring to them.

Late yesterday afternoon after finishing the last of the three aspects of Discipleship (Intentional Leadership, Relational Environment, Reproducible Process) the light bulbs seemed to be clicking on. Praise God.  We have half a day left to clarify their concerns, answer their questions, and help them plan for the future. Please pray that all these things happen for each of the pastor teams.

Thank you for your consistent prayers over these three days. God has been answering them for each of the Pastor teams.

 Thanks to God,
