Ok, things are getting real now.  We’re moving on from our fun Old Testament scavenger hunt (although anyone who wants to complete the whole thing is amazing!) And we’ve hosted friends through hospitality.  Now we’re talking about the dreams and goals that disciples on the mission have.  The dream to study the bible with someone.  The goal of being used by God to help another person believe, repent and be baptized.  This is what we’ve been praying for over the last 6 weeks.  We’re dreaming with God about the impact that the gospel can have.  It might not happen in these 12 weeks but if a vision of a fruitful life can be sparked then God can do amazing things in his time!
