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.

Love

Without love, I am nothing. Without love, there is nothing meaningful. When you are surrounded by a big church building and program and institution, it's hard to remember what that means. But here in Bucharest, where souls are as gray and crumbly as the communist era apartment blocs, it is thunderously obvious that Love is EVERYTHING.

Jesus said "Love God with all you are, and love your neighbor the way you love yourself---that sums it all up!" Let's park our theological and dispensational  "Yes, but...'s"  for a minute and let that sink in.

And click here and read 1 John 4:7-19

Prayer Point for today: Pray that God will reveal himself in love poured out. May our Kids experience the reality of God in his love, and may they manifest the reality of God in love. May God build a unity of the spirit through the bond of peace.

Pray especially for:
Saints -- Nadia, Alexandra B, Ana M
Seekers -- Valentin, Paula, Iulia, Florin
Bubble-Boy -- Vali
Moths-round-the-Flame -- Ana B, Iulia, Lorena, Diana, Geany, Alexandra C, Ana P, Liviu, Monica
Backsliders -- Deea, Marius, Maria
Parents -- Gica, Maria, Mihai, Luci, George, Marga
