Planted by Water

My apologies to readers for not posting for a while. I had a great last session with the students as we considered the main global challenges the world faces and that Christians need to be aware of - namely, globalisation and world poverty, the clash of civilisations and the environment - massive issues that it was good to begin discussing. I ended with the encouragement that in whatever God has called them to do, each of them, as citizens of the Kingdom, are called to be world changers! They’ve been a great group to teach and I’ve enjoyed our discussions over the past year.

Interestingly just before I went to be with the students, we had a conference in Manchester with Keri about his vision to take the gospel to all nations. It is important that, as we develop a global awareness, it is not just the issues, challenges and crises that men fear that we consider, but that it is the global purposes of God to reach the world with his gospel and fill the world with his glory that should dominate our thinking!

I also had a word from God while at the conference which confirmed something I had begun to consider that I needed to do and that will affect this blog. I will share it with any interested readers tomorrow.
