In the past two weeks I've flown through three countries and have been to three states in the US and am now back in Spain.
"You maybe asking, "a movement of what?" Please stay with me in my next few blogs as I continue to share. I will up date you on N. Thailand and my exciting progress, my time in Spain since I've returned from the leading a Wordrace squad, and specifically what coming on staff with the WR will look like."
To continue where I left off, this is my take on the "movement" of the World Race…and what I see forming! A dream that is coming to fruition!
ER Nurses, teachers, husbands, wives, business owners, cops, home owners, college grads, nobodies and everybodies, musicians, artists, chefs, the highly educated, and the somewhat motivated have been coming! They have admitted to hearing a rumor, a whisper, that there is more! With honor for all those who stay in their occupation or vocation they heard the call to leave theirs. With love-ones and past lives behind them, they have chosen to heed to the beckoning call! They have said- "The cries of the nations have reached my ears! I will go, send me!"
There is a message… and this message is catching momentum….
It's not some new message, but rather one of old. This message is alive and will always remain current-! It's centered on the simple truth of Christ and that God the Father will do exactly what He said He would do.
The Worldrace has formed out of this message and we are taking it literally around the world time and time again!
There is a heart cry from my generation that say's "I know there is more!"
And so they keep coming, and we keep sending!
They infiltrate the dank dark rooms of bars where prostitutes take their post- and guide them to another and better way! They deliver babies in the back of vans from HIV positive mothers. They're not turned off by the pungent stench of the poor, or the urine socked orphan! Bad breath, BO, or unattractiveness won't keep them from hugging and kissing those who are destitute and need love. They hold the sick, heal the sick, comfort the dieing and on occasion even raise the dead!
They can camp in a tent in the middle of the African bush during the peek of summer or stay in a comfortable hotel in London- it doesn't matter to them!
They understand that stewardship isn't limited to money… but encompasses grace, faith, forgiveness, hope, love, joy, and then money.
11 countries around the world isn't a big deal to them, they don't need it! It just happens to be a part of the deal!.
They have gifting but more importantly they have character.
Honor, integrity, faith, hope, and love are in each step they take! And with every new place they venture into a legacy continues to grow!
They are a people who walk in the mystery of Grace- and extend it to others. They have been bathed in forgiveness and in turn can't help but give it away! They have decided to be outrageous givers and amazing lovers!
With everything they receive they give God all the Glory and hold nothing as their own!
They keep saying we won't give up, for He didn't give up on us!
They know they aren't perfect or have it all figured out..but they live as if they are being guided by the one who does!
They don't identify who they are based on what the world says but rather by what HE says!
They know how to point to the Father and say, "not by us but by Christ- for He is everything!"
This message refuses to be franchised, diluted, bought, detoured or lured away!
They are people with rough knee's and colorful dreams!
Out of this message is being birthed a movement!
What was once just a message is becoming a real and tangible reality.
We are the movement!! A body of people who are moving from where they have been to where they are going! As we move forward… they keep coming! They hear the same rumor and whisper within their soul as we did. One by one they take this message around the world: Christ!
