Well, I just had a great conversation with Deena, one of our ladies at Nomad in the park. She has been following Jesus this summer, and has been very intentional about reaching out to others. Deena has a sensitive heart full of compassion, and she wants more and more people to know about Jesus and to grow as she has grown.
But Deena may not be able to go to Nomad if we continue to meet at night in the Park. It's simply getting too cold for her. She has some physical challenges and she's not the only one facing such challenges.
It was really cool speaking with her because she seemed very aware that her so-called 'weakness' might be a huge opportunity for us and for the Kingdom of God. So here is Deena's heart: we need Nomad to meet someplace where we can stay together and perhaps become a part of a new community. She is hoping we stay near the park because that's where she is and that's where her circle of influence is. Perhaps we can do both: stay in the park and move to a new location, essentially starting to go with two groups. ???
You guys know my heart: Nomad is being prodded by God right now...to go. I don't know what it is going to look like, but I have a sense God is directing us to a new group of people.
So what do you think? Please post your comments. This mission is important, guys. People need to know God loves them, and Jesus offers forgiveness and freedom! Jesus offers friendship and hope and true, pure, eternal life!
Where is God leading us?
Nomad is ON tonight at Westchester Park: start around 6pm, get in the word arond 7pm. Can't wait to see you there! Please bring something to share together for our meal!
Peace,
John
