First Day Completed - Outreach To Come Shortly

Well, a lot has happened in the last few days. In fact Kels and I have already completed our first full day of training and let me just say it was intense. Nerve wracking, sweat producing, and intimidating were only just a few ways to describe the madness/chaos that would ensue. As Kels said it was like they pushed us off a 100ft cliff into deep water expecting us to be just fine and not freak out. But it was so good. For our first session we basically did simple evangelism unto one another, granted everyone in the room is following Jesus to the best of their ability, but we still didn't know anyone, so sharing the simple truths of the gospel with one another was a little intimidating. 

Basically the simple gospel boils down to this: God is Holy, He is Love, and He is Just. We have all rebelled against Him, because even one sin is enough to separate us from Him and His requirement of us to be with Him is that we be made perfect not by our own strength but by the grace of Jesus Christ who poured out His blood on the cross for us. Nothing that we can do will ever get us close enough, only through belief and relationship in Jesus can we be saved. 

But the whole point is that this is good news, there is joy laced all through it because its not about us at all its about what He did. The lost do want Jesus, they are not opposed to Him everyone wants a King & friend like Jesus, but they are opposed to religion which can be defined as a detached knowledge of God that is void of the heart of God. (More to come on this topic later)

Last night Lou Engle came and spoke to us about the word Ekballo which is basically how Jesus told the the disciples to pray to God about sending workers into the harvest. That He would thrust workers into the world because the harvest is plenty but the workers are few. But in order to do this we need to have a passion for souls, that at all costs we would see the Lord's compassion for the masses in Matthew 9:35-38 to pray that The Lord of the Harvest would send laborers into the harvest. That we would have His heart for the lost so that He could receive the reward for His suffering.  

More to come soon (audios might not be available till later) pray for us as we are about to out into Kansas City in a few minutes and tomorrow at the same time to see the lost returned to their Papa
