The more time I spend thinking about mission I find the first question that must be asked is, “How do you view mission?”.  I have recently talked with people who have followed Christ for years, and with people who just in the past year  began living for Jesus, and posed this question.  The general consensus between both the veteran and fledgling believers was pretty much the same.  Mission is an event that we may think about ahead of time if we are a part of the planning committee.  If not, we think about the event when we show up.  This mindset is easier to manage than the belief that, at the point of salvation, our call to go into all the world and make disciples of every nation begins.  This would be to view mission, not as a subcategory, but as a way we view all of the subcultures in which we live.  We will know that we have made that mindset shift when we go to bed at night and wake up in the morning thinking about how we can better love people, engage culture, and make the kingdom of God tangible to the lost around us.

Thinking with Christ-centered mission intention:

What subcultures are you involved in?

• Neighborhood/Apartment Complex
• Sports
• Work
• School
• Clubs
• Hobbies
• Public Service
• Etc.

How are you working to build meaningful relationships inside of these communities (friendships that allow you opportunities into their homes and other communities)?

How are you lovingly serving these people (not treating them as projects with time frames and expectations that they must meet)?

Are you willing to live an inconvenienced life?

As many of you know, one of our elders, Mark Rohl and his wife, Kendra, recently adopted a beautiful baby boy, Tobias. No one was prepared for how quickly God would answer their prayers, as the process was incredibly swift. So, a real, old-fashioned Ho-Down Showdown was held this past Sunday evening at the Connection Center building as a fundraising event to help defray the adoption costs. Many thanks go out to Shawn and Suzee Lind for all their hard work and effort in putting this together and making the event so successful. A total of $650 was raised as a result. Praise Jesus!

I am incredibly blessed to be a part of a family that is knit together by the Spirit of God; a family that truly takes care of one another and edifies each other. The event was overflowing with fun and laughter, and it was for a glorious cause. This poem was written to capture the evening:

Laughter and dancin’ was all over the place.
Nary a smile was missin’ from a face.
Blacked out teeth and hair tied with twine,
It shore was a rootin-tootin’ good time!

Chicken on the grill, and corn on the cob;
Even a few apples so the kids could bob.
There was line dancin’ and two-steppin’ after a lesson or two
(Whitney and Pete had to show us what to do.)

The duds were mostly cowboy boots and hats
And Brett made sure the music never went flat.
Christy collected money and even her hubby Josh came…
We’ll never hear the Honky Tonk Pa-donky Donk song quite the same.

There’s a doggone good reason for all this fun had by us,
And that was to honor our new little Tobias.
His Ma and Pa couldn’t be prouder,
And so much cheerin’ made the music grow louder.

They had no idea how their lives would change when they woke up that morn,
Because, out of hope, the little whipper snapper was born.
“This gift,” God said, “I give to you.”
“Your faith has been proven, tried and true.”

Let’s take a moment and thank God above
For His undying mercy, His passion, His love.
Our children are gifts; we are entrusted with their lives.
So raise them up in Jesus, the one and only true prize.
