Day 33 and my intentional follow of Jesus was to pray constantly as I zoomed down the I-99 and the I-5 to Los Angeles ....my monthly visit to Tujunga CA. Wow - the praying wasn't so much to preoect me from the crazy traffic, but to protect me from the foul smell of the daity farms all the way south - yuck!
But then my more important follow was to spend several hours energetically talking about the potential of the church in being the hope of the world to a group of energetic leaders in Tujunga.
Three things I love to talk about - theology, the church and how to help a church live out its theology in seeing people come to faith in Christ - becoming a missional church. I also love to talk about football (the global game) - which I think is important for being effective in taking the Gospel into all the world. Forget American sports that are only played in this small country - 6 billion people in the planet know and love real football!
Several hours of talking the story of Redeemer's Church and how God is moving in this small town to build His Church and extend His Kingdom. About helping people become contagious Christians. About using the Alpha Course to introduce people to faith and Jesus Christ. About the church being a safe place to explore faith. About opening up the church's front door to reach people who have been shut out, left out, ignored - but not by Christ and not by people who follow that Christ.
Great dialogue.
Great worship.
A great day in Tujunga.
A great day for people far from God in Tujunga.
A bad day for Satan.
