It’s Like…It’s Working….

So Robyn and I had a bit of time to process this week on what exactly the Lord is doing here. and the more we talked the more excited we got…its like…its working…somethings working…
We moved out here in June of 2010 to plant this church, in all reality the church has been planted, its healthy its growing…praise God! However as we sought the Lord as a staff before coming out here, we really felt like the Lord talked a lot about how this is not church in the sense of building a group of people that gather a few times a week, tithe, love Jesus together and thats great. The Lord really challenged us to believe Him for the impossible…things like:
1. we are actually going to build a church that disciples Fort Collins
2. we are actually going to build a church that disciple Colorado STate University
3. we are actually going to create a movement and structure that can send people into every realm of society and every nation to see whole society’s and nations transformed by the Gospel of Jesus Christ….woah…
so…this last year Robyn and I have been in process of taking our crazy pills and deciding yes, we are going to believe God, do what He says, and see this actually come to pass.
Well, as Robyn and I were talking through this last semester, we have set out obeying the Lord, doing what we know how to do: discipling students, sharing the Gospel, building a lifegroup, risking on people…and we were thinking…
We have about 15 students, that are pumped out of their mind to go share the Gospel on Friday nights, and go encounter Jesus together on Tuesday nights at this Pursue event. Both of these events have come from Jesus speaking to students and Robyn and I telling them they are not crazy and that we believe in them! Its like we have a group of students that have come alive at a level they have never been. They are encountering God, being transformed and their is this incredible momentum stewing right under the surface…its like collectively the students are feeling this desire to give away what they have, but they dont entirely know how…but everyone knows the lid is about to come off…
Mean while…Robyn and I are blown away at what is happening right before our eyes. We are consistently challenged and blown away that the Lord is allowing us to steward this revival on CSU…its crazy…
anyways…thanks for following us…please pray for us…
a. that we wouldn’t succumb to control…but Robyn and I would continue to lead in abidance with the Holy Spirit
b. that our family would thrive…we are currently…so that that would continue
c. that we would laugh more then anyone else on the planet…
bless you guys
