| | My team met yesterday for our weekly meeting at a Coffee Bar in San Dimas.
In that meeting we discussed the powerful dynamic intentional missional community creates for its' participants.
One lesson that I feel the Lord is impressing on me to reconsider is to implement the regular weekly rythm we enjoyed in our experience with NieuCommunities http://www.nieucommunities.org that created a powerful catalyst toward missional living in Christ.
We met regularly throughout the week to pray, fellowship, share meals, study, and intentionally minister in the greater community around us (Acts 2). We spurred each other on toward good works in accordance with Hebrews 10:24-25. I miss those times. Yes, I realize work must be done, and we have our own families and lives to live, but God is giving us outstanding emerging leaders to develop and catalyze. And I think we go much more 'done' then then we even do now.
I have not oriented my life to reflect those lessons I learned. I feel led to do so. How can I suggest to others that that life is the life they are called to when I am not doing it myself? I feel the Lord is asking me to create that kind of missional community with my team and those the Lord gives us to develop and share life with.
How powerful that would be. NieuCommunities is not something you go to and that season ends. I believe that life is the life of Christ's body. I am making a committment to encourage, foster and organize such an apostolic community wherever I am.
I don't quite know what that will look like yet, but I believe the Lord will guide and direct. I pray He will.
