What A Week

So our West Rome team just left our house, and we are really going to miss them. They are a bunch a fun people who love God and serve Medicine Hat the way Jesus did, but here are some highlights:

I got to meet some very influential people in the city, and become friends with them. They got to see the difference in us compared to what they see in the stereotypical church. Spectrum had a church there that I am sure they will never invite back because they were all about themselves and what they can take from the community.

We will be starting a Bible Study Wednesday night with all non Christians who invited themselves over for Bible study and I had to give them a Bible because they didn't have one. Now that is a blessing right there.

One of the ladies on the board teaches children with disabilities at the High School and she has stuff ready for Riley, she's not a believer either but the relationship is being built.

I got to play with Jarrod's i-Phone.

I have been asked by one of the members of the board who is not a believer to come over for coffee.

One of the electricians who has been there for the past 5 years since West Rome has been coming up, finally asked, "So, what's up with this Jesus anyway, aren't we all God's children?" That lead to a great conversation between him and Jarrod.

I got to share my testimony with the guy who heads off spectrum.

As I am back in the Canadian context again, I am seeing how fragile strategic relationships can be. This other church in 35 minutes almost ruined 5 years worth of work because they wanted to promote their own agenda first without earning the right to promote.
