This weekend was amazing.
First, so enjoyed hanging out with the pastors at the roundtable in Birmingham. What a great group of guys! Looking forward to what the future may hold for connection with this amazing group of leaders.
These guys are a part of the “new breed” of spirit filled churches. So refreshing.
Then Chims Phiri (what a great name!) from Zimbabwe was with us for church on Sunday. Our church fell in love with him.
He was taking about the Holy Spirit and made this great observation: When the Holy Spirit brooded over the chaos in Gen. 1, He brought order to the chaos.
I love the Holy Spirit, His gifts, His power, His voice and His presence. But a lot of my previous experience with “spirit-filled” ministry has been the opposite of this idea of order being brought to chaos. The more chaos there was, the more it was considered “the Holy Spirit”.
Looking forward to our ongoing partnership with Chims and his church in Zimbabwe. We talked for a long time about a trip to Zimbabwe in August to equip leaders, minister to teens and strengthen their business leaders.
Then our volunteer fair on Sunday was a total hit. Hundreds of people checking out serving opportunities. Love the guys who have been serving for years. Love the new guys who want to get on the team.
