Our Church in Action!

Lydia HartLydia has made her way to Spain! Her latest blog is on the bulletin insert.  It’s so exciting to see God at work in her.  To received her future updates, be sure to check out her blog at lydiahart.org where you can sign up.

I’m in Spain and it is the most perfect place and time and situation and group of people and time of learning that God could have brought me to.  Irrevocably changed. It’s been my prayer for a long time, reiterated in the past few days.  I don’t know what to write a blog about. I haven’t even been here a week and I have already ingested so many revolutionary ideas and lessons that I don’t know where to begin. Do I write about Honor? Inheritance? Generational living? What it looks like to identify the greatness in people? The point of peace? The broken or beautiful church? How we were created to be overflowers? The need for continual hunger in the Christian life? Excellence vs. Perfection? Leading others to Jesus and not our experiences of Jesus? Self-sufficiency in Christ? What God’s point is? How the church in not plan B? Or how the war between good and evil is between Satan and Man, not Satan and God? I can’t pick one – what do you want to hear?  This next 6 months, while impossible without the things I’ve already done, will be the most internally revolutionary and necessary months I’ve ever spent. So thank you for investing in me, thank you for going on this journey with me. I can’t wait to challenge you with the things I’m learning and to come back to America and the church and infest it with the revolutionary power of God’s love.
