John Leach, this week's teacher, spoke on the importance of seeing ourselves as God sees us. Too often, we try to perform or live life worthy of love. We hear that God loves us, but sometimes we still try to earn it from Him. We are "all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus."(Coll. 3:26) There is no opportunity to earn love, only to recieve the love Jesus offers through His work conquering death. For "God sent the Spirit of His Son into our hearts, the Spirit who calls out, "Abba, Father." So you are no longer a slave, but a son; and since you are a son, God has made you also an heir." (Coll. 4:7) To walk out life from an identity as a son and an heir in the kingdom of God brings a freedom to run after God with a heart captivated by the Father's love. Hearts become captivated by the love of God rather than trying to avoid sin, and God reveals His beauty as we seek Him. Our school got another taste of the love of God this week, and hearts, including mine, are burning brighter to bring this love to the nations.
The outreach to India is beginning to take shape among our team of 9. One month will likely be spent in Central India with a church planting organization and the other t
ime will be spent in Mumbai. Plans will take more shape soon, but be praying for unity and preparation among our team. We are feeling the Lord wants to move in mighty ways of healing, deliverance, and revealing His Presence among us. Please be praying into our VISA process too. It is quite difficult to get a VISA to India, and we are working hard to get all 9 team mem
bers into India.

Love and blssing on everyone who reads my ramblings. Jesus is alive!
