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
