This Saturday was great. We had a few visitors which made for a full house. Jean-Pierre facilitated. We started off with sharing the progress that we have made in the last year. This was really inspiring. It was challenging to hear each other's experiences. The great thing about the fellowship is how we all learn from each other's experiences. One thing is definite and that is that no matter how small the change in our lives, our mindsets with regard to our worldview are changing.
After that we reviewed Swami Ji's presentation of last week. This was really good as their are so many gems that can be taken out of it. We discussed the incarnational approach (giving the gospel to other cultures in their own bowl) versus the extraction approach, We also discussed denying ourselves and taking up our cross and what that really means, losing our life for the Kingdom's sake, being a devotee of Jesus versus a Christian etc.
We then went on to discuss an e-mail from Deon. In it he asks us to think about what his family is going to do after their language school studies. How can his family take the incarnational approach within the Thai culture? Wow, this is intense stuff. We only touched on this and decided to leave it as the topic for next week. So put on your thinking caps and pray about it so that we are all ready for next week.
