When Jesus launched his one-man invasion of planet earth, he began by gathering a band of disciples to advance his kingdom-movement. He ended by entrusting his movement and his dreams to his inner circle with these words: "As the father sent me into the world, likewise I am sending you!" The mantle of the Jesus movement was not only taken up by the 12, but by the next generation (Stephen and Philip) and the next generation (Paul, Silas, Barnabas, Apollos) and the next generation (Timothy, John Mark, Titus) and beyond. Movement leaders gather people around tables and bread and wine and vision. Meals make movements. We are in the cafes and clubs and campuses of Romania to mobilize the next generation of Jesus' movement to overthrow injustice and exploitation and indifference. Table to table. Jesus style.
My Wing-Man: Vali!
Pray for my dear friend and Wing-Man, Vali. He is devoted to me and my work, and I love him completely. He helps me every day, whether I am in Romania or not, freely spends from his pocket, and resists any compensation. He loves the Way of Jesus, and he believes all the right stuff. But he doesn't really lay claim to being "in" because he knows his life falls short.
1. Pray that Vali will know the perfect love of God -- Love beyond fear.
2. Pray for his girlfriend Alexandra. Pray that she will forget everything she ever heard about God, and just let God show himself as he really is. Pray that she God's image---she is his art-work! -- and all she can be in Him.
3. Pray that circumstances will allow him to come to the USA for a couple of months this winter.
4. Pray for an upcoming surgery, and a speedy recovery. Also for the expenses and lost time at work.
5. Pray that all his thoughts will run in parallel with God's eternal wisdom.
