Well we are already a few days into the new year and like many before it, I am already busy and excited about what is ahead. Who would have guessed that when Jesus said go into all the world and make disciples that literally it would be a normal part of life. Already today I have interacted with people about Spain, Germany, Poland, El Salvador, and Brazil.
Making disciples takes time and relationships with people and so traveling on a regular basis to the same countries helps accomplish that. It is also as big of learning curve as it is a teaching challenge. Each country and people have their own things I need to learn before I can pass on what I know.
Just recently I realized that Jesus was faced with the same challenges. He was a carpenter by trade but he worked with fishermen and didn't use his carpentry experience to teach them but their own fishing world to make points they could understand. So we go and grow and pass it on. Hope your 2009 is a positive challenge for you as well.
