The Boss is in Town
Our core values are expressed in a Vision statement the first paragraph of which says, "We see a vital movement of the Gospel, fueled by prevailing prayer, flowing freely through relational networks and out into the nations. Workers for the Kingdom are next door to everywhere!"
These guys here, in this picture, they are the Big Bosses. They'd hate that I just said that. They are our Leadership Team. As well they are our close friends. They had their meetings in Chiang Mai this past month.
They planned to have Saturday free and they asked me if I could plan something relaxing and if they could meet some of the people among whom we minister. I was sweating bullets.
How do you show "flowing freely through relational networks"? Or how about "Workers for the Kingdom are next door to everywhere!"
You could perhaps organize an evangelistic outreach, or join a bible study or seminar of workers for the Kingdom, but neighbors? Relational networks? How about Vital, Fueled and Flowing? That is harder. How do we get together in a way that is natural, organic and authentic?
Understand why I was sweating? There was no need, God always shows up. Here is just one evening.
Almost every evening they were here we were out to dinner with friends and family. One evening the ladies all wanted to make them "real northern Thai food". As you can imagine, that included rat, grasshoppers, bee larvae, caterpillars, and more strange things. Each participated with gusto and adventure.
The Ladies who cooked all that crazy food
