Missional is Doing!!

Sunday was kind of this "surreal" and fast-paced time lapse all at once, in my mind, as I stood to preach in the 11:30 service. I looked out and saw all these young college kids that I knew since they were born, or very, very young. My son Ben has just graduated from NYU and is trying to use business to one day live and work globally with Ashley, his finance, who has just finished her teaching degree. Aaron Snow spent the weekend with homeless people. I told him, "do that once a week and you can write your own book on missional!" Seems today, people like to sit, write, dissect, gripe, but do very little. Rock and roll wild man Aaron. Kyle Neiman is a youth intern and booming in his life and ministry. Paige Kimmel is getting ready to teach, and hopefully one day do somelthing globally for God. Ben Hammond was an agnostic when I met him. Later he married Ashley Wilson--they leave next week to help Kevin Colon at his plant in Superior, Colorado. Jason Worlitz has been "grabbed" by God in a powerful way and is headed into the ministry and is in our internship program--who wudda thought!!!! Justin and Amanda Sadler are living the life and serving God and others. I remember when Justin accepted Christ. I asked him "Have you ever sinned, Justin?" His resposne was, "Well, I'm not a regular!" Many, many more that God is using. I'm proud of all you guys! Love God, love life, have fun, take huge risks, learn in your suffering, comfort others in their suffering, dream big, walk consistently, be they big or small steps, see God in everything and everything will work out.
