God is Moving!

So this last week was "Field Ministries Week" when representitives from all the different regions NTM is working around the world. It was so good to be back on focus with what God has called us here to do.

Wow its funny- I feel like I have million things I should tell you all and now I'm drawing a complete blank.

Well, while I'm blanking, let me share some fun things that happened this week:

-Susie, Rachel, Marianne and I had the regional representitives from Africa over for dinner- it is SO exciting to hear what God is up among His children in Africa! Oh that's what I wanted to talk about!

Churches all over the World are waking up and moving forward to take the Gospel out Latin America, Asia, Africa ("the Global South" seems to be the term they like for this movement.) That was probably the best, most exciting thing about this week- hearing about the INCREDIBLE things God's body is up to all around the church. Did you know there's a Nigerian group with 2000 missionaries trying to reach the unreached parts of their country? Did you know the African church (I kind of hate to call them that- it makes it sound like there's different churches, Asian church, African church, American church... but we are all One Body) but anyway- the believers in Africa are also part of the "Back to Jerusalem push- to take the back through Muslim North Africa to Jerusalem. And probably most of you have heard that believers in China are doing that as well! Did you know in NTM alone there are over 350 missionaries from Brazil?- the only country that sends more NTM missionaries is the US.

Guys this is the coolest thing ever! I have never even read about such a global movement of the Church! and I am SO excited to get to be part of it internationally- and I can't wait to see what this means for believers in the West as well. I don't know what God's up to but its going to be AMAZING!
