Busy in the USAPhil Togwell - 22 May 2009
We're in Minneapolis, USA, hanging out and joining in with the Boiler Room community leaders from Madison, Kansas City, Stockbridge, Tulsa and the guys here in Minneapolis. It's already been a fantastic time of worship and prayer and learning and fellowship... Joe Steinke led us in a three-hour, prayer-fueled Bible study on John 14-17 this morning, which was possibly the most inspiring three-hours of my year so far. I think I filled out half my journal, scribbling notes and diagrams. Ha ha!
Before this gathering, the International Communities team met to discuss our ecclesiology and our models/philosophy of learning across the movement. It seems the week for strategic discussion because before that, in Kansas City, 24-7's new Board, Council and International Team met... with Justice, how-we-network, Europe and our ten-year celebrations on the agenda. It's been a busy and beautiful time. Thank you so much to all who've been praying for us to hear God's voice amongst the many voices. I think those prayers have been answered.
In the coming few days our gathering opens even wider as over 100 people from across the continent are gathering to celebrate and pray as part of the US National Gathering. Please pray that it's an anointed time.
