Rika and I started our missions journey in 1997 when we joined Youth with a Mission at their base in Stonewall, Colorado. We did a Leadership Development School that was led by Floyd and Sally McClung. The last few days I have been busy reading Floyd's latest book titled "Follow". I quote from the book: " All followers and seekers of Jesus must wrestle with three simple yet profound truths. Worship. Mission. Community. They are simple, but they will affect every area of your life if you allow them to.
Once again they are:
- Worship: to love and obey Jesus as a lifestyle - with passion and purpose.
- Mission: to love those who don't follow Jesus - with courage and decency.
- Community: to love other followers of Jesus - with intentionality and transparency."
How is Jesus influencing your life in these three areas? Are you willing for Jesus to touch every area of your life? Imagine a church that lives out all three these three values. In our meetings on Tuesday nights we are challenging each other to reach out and love those who is not yet following Jesus.
"Follow" by Floyd McClung is all about discipleship. I highly recommend this book. Floyd and Sally McClung are the founders of All Nations. They currently live in Cape Town where they mentor and train, church planters.
