Sitting here at home finishing up preparation for tomorrow morning and I’m fired up and ready to go. There are lots of reasons for being anxious each week. But there are some weeks you just get a bit more jacked for than others. Sometimes it’s the topic of the day. Other times, it’s just the depth of the content. Others still it’s just that you know people are getting it and you just can’t wait to be together again. There are more, but I’m not interested in creating a comprehensive list here.
So what’s the reason for excitement tonight? Well tomorrow, we kick off ONE PRAYER with over 1300 churches. It’s absolutely amazing to have this many churches partnered together for ANY reason. Much less to devote an entire month to focus on the same subject and challenge each other to bigger and better things. Plus, we are going to share some potentially major news in the service tomorrow. It all adds up to a HUGE day.
THEN…. Lesley and I will be headed off to Green Lake Conference Center in WI to assist with a church planters assessment week. It was roughly 4 years ago that we went through the same process. It is a frightening thing to place your potential future in the hands of a group of other people. But that’s what we did. We went through psychological evaluations, personality profiling, and a wide-range of church-planting scenarios that planters will typically have to navigate.
Throughout the process, there are a group of assessors that are watching, observing, interacting with you, and comparing notes with other assessors as to the potential of the candidate as a church-planter. It is extremely intense and scary. But in the end it is a thrilling and wonderful experience. The energy among those who are dreaming about impacting the world for Christ is incredible.
