God
has done some amazing things through 6:8 Ministries over the past four
years! It's hard to believe that it all started with a vision to
provide affordable life-changing mission experiences. While we knew
there was power in mobilizing the body of Christ, I don't think any of
us imagined that it would lead to where we are today.
Through
the constant flow of short-term mission teams, 6:8 Ministries is
transforming the city of Alajuelita. Lives are being radically
transformed by the gospel of Jesus Christ.
I have recently begun to re-read An Unstoppable Force
by Erwin McManus. It's one of my favorite books by one of my favorite
authors. The theme of the book is challenging us to become the church
God had in mind. We are not called to be timid, lazy, or passive.
Rather, an unstoppable force that will breakdown any barrier the world
tries to set against the advancement of God's Kingdom.
Over
the past four years I witnessed first hand what God can accomplish once
His church is mobilized and motivated. Here, in Alajuelita, what
started with a simple vision and a whispered prayer, has grown into an
unstoppable force that is not only transforming individuals but the
entire city.
What
an awesome privilege it is to be part of the body of Christ! The fact
that God wants to use, and has empowered us to expand His kingdom is
not only a privilege, but a huge responsibility. Every believer has the
power of God inside of them waiting to be turned loose. So the question
remaining is how are we going to unleash the power?
We love you guys and thanks for all the prayers and support!
