Missional Communities

As I’m writing this blog entry the last night of the Denver Christmas Conference is coming to a close. This was a great year and I really feel as though God is moving in a fresh new way throughout the CCC students from Nebraska in attendance. Personally, I am once again struck by the fact that God has things under control, and He will speak clearly if given the opportunity.

I (literally) just finished meeting with students from Wesleyan, North Platte Community College (midplains), Chadron State College, Columbus Community College, and Wayne State College, and I’m excited to see how God will bless these students as they move forward in obedience.

A typical problem today is having a ministry that will insist it is growing while failing to reproduce. Growth results in reproduction. This is true in a single cell amoeba and it should be true in Christians as well. Tonight I had the opportunity to get together with several leaders who had identified the problem, and who are willing to do something about it.

The context of our meeting was to send out (Luke 10) missionaries around each of the schools represented. They are leaving equipped to prayerfully seek out a person of peace at their school who might be receptive to the message of Jesus Christ. It was so exciting to meet with these students whom God had already been preparing, and to send them out into the harvest. Please join with me in praying for these leaders as they take some rather scary steps of faith in the upcoming weeks.
