So, I went on this game drive in swaziland about an hour away from the mozi border and I got to hang with lions, elephants, hippos, zebras, etc.....basically the big 5 but prolly the highlight of the day had to be when I got like 10 ft away from 6 rhinos.....absolutely insane!!!! My heart was pounding in my chest as these 2.5 ton beast began to unite in their formation to charge after us but before they trampled us I had to snap off a quick pic cuz I knew you wouldn't believe me....so yah, I made it!!!

Kingdom Builders

Today was an awesome day as some of our HPC family came together to celebrate what God has done and what God is going to do with us in building His kingdom. It was a great time of worship and hearing Ps dino share his heart and God's vision for where we are headed....the best truly is yet to come!!! Then christine caine brought the thunder and challenged us to to continue in this great assignment God has given us. And finally, we took our first tour of the HPC arena which is our new worship space that God is building thru us so that we can reach more people for His kingdom. Its amazing to get to be a part of what God is doing at healing place church......

I can't sleep so here goes....

Sometimes it seems as if us christians have decided that the safest place for us is behind the walls of a building we call "the church." We can easily drift into the thought that our "church" keeps us from the contamination of the world.. And sometimes we're prolly even guilty of making church a refuge "from" the world rather than a refuge "for" the world. And then every so often we feel guilty b/c we know that the bible teaches us to "GO and make disciples..." So we go on a mission project or spend a few hours doing something charitable don't we? We've defined this kinna stuff as "being set apart and holy" mixed with "evangelism." But there is a shift taking place amoung christians and churchs. I have this sense that the church as a whole is beggining to get it.... God's church is grasping the reality that we're not called to live apart from the world and only come out once or twice a year;we're called to live without walls, to be an active part of our community and to influence it for Jesus. Ya, I like that! We are the church....we are a light slap in the middle of our dark communities not meant to be hidden in a building but spread onto every single street and into every single home.....AMEN

Big Hair Christians

So, I was catching a flight out of L.A. Lastnite to Sidney and 2 1/2 hrs into the flight the captain comes over the loud speaker and says, "don't be alarmed by the flames coming out of the engine on the right wing!!!!" What? Ya....FIRE!!! Not good right? Well needless to say we had to turn around and go back to L.A. For an emergency landing awaited by 12 fire trucks....spent the nite in L.A. And then this a.m. As I was at starbucks I ran into these two cool old guys with big hair and we started chatting and they tell me their names "les and moore" (funny I know) and then I said hey where do I know u guys from? They say "ever heard of the rock band stryper?" I was like "yeahya".....then they asked me to pray for them cuz they were headed to rock a show in amsterdam.....how cool is that???
