Incognito

Don't you love it when plans fall through and you have to listen and let the Spirit help you reimagine what He has in store?

This just happened to my community.

We had plans to go serve for a week with developmentally disabled adults. We were all geared up and ready to go when we received a phone call that the week-long experience had been cancelled. My immediate response (fleshly, I know) was to say, "Who messed this one up?!?" And then the Spirit got ahold of my team and began to lead us in His Way for our upcoming week.

A week-long experience called Incognito emerged.

The purpose of this week is to live in the Way of Jesus in Community for the good of our immediate world. Each unique experience will be done in small teams and will end with a meal together to process what we’re learning.

I will attempt to blog what we are experiencing and learning as a community as we go. Please pray for us as we live in the controversial Way of Jesus.

The daily schedule is as follows:

Tuesday, July 27: Incognito: Door Washing
We will metaphorically wash the feet of and pray for the local businesses on the two main streets of our city.
Meeting at 5:00am; washing and praying until 7:00am.
Breakfast to follow.

Wednesday, July 28: Incognito: Come Like Children
We will spend our morning at a lower income district in our community loving the children through games, crafts, fingernail painting, etc.
Meeting at 8:00am; playing and loving until 12:00pm.
Lunch to follow in the park!

Thursday, July 29: Incognito: Free Car Wash (No Donations Accepted)

This is a Spirit-lead idea, ineed! We'll be praying.

And Jeremy, thanks for letting your beautiful wife bless Scott and me for our wedding weekend; she is grace-filled and marvelous.
