Hebrews 13:8 "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever."
this past week we had foundations of church ministry course with Dave Ernst. i loved the way he taught class and learned so much. Some of the main topics we covered include: what is the church? What is the purpose of the church? Who leads the church? What is my contribution in the church? and what if there are problems in the church? we thoroughly examined each one and everything was backed up by scripture in the Bible. We read "Whats so Amazing about Grace?" by Philip Yancey and "The Emerging Church" by Dan Kimball. Both were amazing books that i would recommend reading! The Ghandi quote is from Kimball's book and how there has become a sense of mistrust and caution toward Christians from emerging generations. Our world is constantly changing and the church needs to deconstruct and reconstruct the way it is to be able to reach out to younger generations. Even though our culture is always changing and becoming more postmodern, Christ will remain the same forever. We have our exam tomorrow, so lots of studying tonight! and then we also have a paper due in December about women in ministry.
this weekend i did a full weekend for the mens retreat that came to qwanoes! i helped out in the dishpit for every meal. it was a joy working alongside other Kaleos and staff serving these men. there was about 95 men ranging from 20-80yrs old. please pray for them and how God worked in their lives this past weekend.
i trust you are all doing well and im praying for you. hope you are blessed with the presence of Christ this upcoming week.
im looking forward to coming home soon!
love always.
PR: please pray for our churches and the emerging generations
