So.. just after i came back from Willams lake.. my heart is over is over flowing again for building a church, and more and more i see it at a coffee shop. It also helps when i was in willams lake, randomly for four hours we held a very small group style church. It was flexible, no one is stapled to the there chairs, about 8 of us entered adn exited and re-entered conversation.. it was also apparent that there were a few people in this group who where not from summit and it just had a huge range of people sharing about Christ and his Kingdom. I might add that this was a public coffee shop, so as people entered the coffee shop and sat, you could tell there thoughts were some what eaze droping. So the whole time my mind went crazy.. pondering and adding questions and actually answering a few..
So here iam a week or so later, and i will be slowly stepping out of the church in mission and i will be starting a "coffee house church" somewhere in the city of abbotsford, or mission or i guess anywhere in a respectable driving distance. This is all still in limbo as i haven't fully talked to Mark Hawkes but i believe this is the direction i am sapose to take so it will work out.
Recently i have started reading the book "God's smuggler" by Brother Andrew.. iam about half way through and its amazing, after all the music i have deleted off my computer that was pirated and everything that is in Gods hands. After reading his biography i am realizeing the more i give to God and the more i leave to his hands is the right way to go. It seems like the more this guy Andrew was broken and had nothing left the more God did, the more God provided for his missions.
This book seems to be connected as I set out to spread Gods word somehow through coffee shops to people everywhere from multi age groups, to non christians and christians and differnt religons, The more i read, the more i go wow, this is going to have to be all God. As this guy brother Andrew sets out multipleble times to go beyond the wall of communists he brought Bibles and everytime gaurds let him by..
Your prayers will be most welcome as i try to prepare and learn how i can be most effective in this big missions field..
Look out starbucks.. and the other coffee shops here i come..
