Fulfilling the Great Commission

 Global Faith & Law Convocation

The Global Faith & Law Convocation was held in Cambridge, UK.  The University of Cambridge was a meaningful place for this Jesus focused group of global legal professionals as it produced the famous “Cambridge Seven” (college-aged missionaries) in 1885 who surrendered their lives for the mission field in China.  About 230 Christian law students, lawyers, judges, etc from 40 countries attended seeing their hearts focused and vision centered through prayer, devotionals, and biblical perspective via lectures by Christian legal professions in various fields like religious freedom, immigration, social responsibility, etc.   We pray for what God will do through these and the many other Christian  lawyers who have a powerful influence on the cultures of their countries.

Queen Elizabeth II passed away a few days before this convocation so we were in the UK for the period of mourning and funeral.  We heard her confessions of faith indirectly through British TV and from the Queen’s (now King’s) Counsels who were with us.  We could feel the British people’s remembrance, love, and respect for the Queen. It was a truly honoring and beautiful time.  Seeing the extravagance of the Queen’s funeral made us think of the death of Jesus. The death of Him who died for us was shameful and painful.  His burial and funeral procession was so humble.  As our eyes welled with tears thinking how much more honoring and beautiful a display should have been made for Jesus’s funeral we took joy remembering (as we wiped our tears) that He was resurrected.  Jesus is with the Father in Glory and always with us.

“…I am with you always, to the end of the age” (Matthew 28:20 b)

Global Alliance for Church Multiplication (GACX) Forum  

To fulfill the Lord’s Great Commission more than 100 churches and mission organizations have come together to share the Gospel around the world and build healthy spiritually multiplying churches.  Over 350 ministers, pastors and leaders from over 40 countries attended the Forum in the United States and over 1,000 attendees online. The participants had time to seriously contemplate and network how to work together to establish and grow one healthy church for every 1,000 people around the world and help to fulfill the Great Commission.  Especially, it was a time to share and pray for Gospel strategies for the next generation. We are expectant for the great commission to be fulfilled and pray that we will all work together to see it so. Amen! 

Thank you for your love, prayer and financial partnership with us.  Let us know how we can be praying for you.
