Yikes! I have been here over a month already! The time has flown by and i am enjoying every second of it!
So we are powering through our formation time. We have had great teaching from people like Dom Henry, who took us through a in depth analysis of the four Gospels. Derek Williams took us through the Life in the Spirit Seminars in two days. Sr Mary Paul gave us three awesome days of teaching on Spirituality of communion. Noelle Chircop has just finished three challenging days of Discipleship. Wow we have had so much to take in and on top of that including two days a week of learning different dramas,skits,and signing dances(definitely not my strong point)
All this input is just exciting us more to actually get out there on Mission! Our first Mission is in Harrogate on the 18 October, so the countdown is on!
Every friday afternoon the Community in Coventry have a prayer afternoon, so yesterday I went for a prayer walk around the area. Fresh in my mind was the street outreach we did last friday in Coventry Centre and the book "Jesus Culture living a life that transforms the world". While I was walking and praying I really felt a conviction that, as Christians, we are called to indiscriminate acts of love as Jesus would have done, and to constant prayer in everything we do! Then I came across a gentleman who was a wheelchair user and was struggling. (At this time I was thinking 'haha God you keep to your word', just because I was praying about it!) So I offered my assistance to the gentleman and he accepted. I managed to have a chat with him and push him up the hill and bring him to where he was going. I was like, wow, isn't this what we are called to as Christians?! We're not meant to have days off! This is what we all should be doing! Imagine every Christian you know aiming to do one random act of kindness a day. Imagine! The world would be a different place and the interpretation of Christians would be a world off where it is now!
