I Go Mission

Today (13/03/2012) i joined "I Go Mission" at Textile Connect 806. It started with worship session then little discussion with small group, discussing about what do you think about Chapter 5. What.. Chapter 5? Yup it's from paper that was distributed on last gathering, i just received few minutes before the gathering started, so total i only read 4 pages haha. But from these 4 pages, its very interesting, it talks about the tentmaker who struggle to tell the truth why he stays on undeveloped country while he was coming from rich country with stable job and life. I found out that I will be on the same boots as him as for I am now haha. So what's the solution? Well please continue to read on ^_^

After little discussion, the time given to Pastor Jeff to tell us what is happening now. One thing that he said that "There is no end for preparation" doesn't matter how much time we spent for our preparation, it will never completed. So he challenged us to set deadline for our preparation, not just "one day" or "next 10 years", but set achievable date (like what we do in our resolution - SMART). By doing so, we have urgency to try to complete the plan, at least we know what we are we doing.

Then Q&A time.

One brother asked about this, then how we could know whether we are ready or not? First is self assessment, we need to be able to identify our readiness, by what? by our conviction, we go to plant church is by our conviction, not because our shepherd told us to go, in the end, there will be only God and ourselves out there to do the work :) Second, ask someone who knows us well, not someone who hate us so that person will tell us to go, nor our family/close friend who prevent us to go because they will miss us, but someone who loves our God and HIS Kingdom.

Matthew 28:18-20
Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.

God Bless ^_^
