Renovatus. Surrounded by her elders & Lead Pastor & some of my 24-7 Leaders, I & my family were prayed for & prophesied over & blessed.
After service, the 24-7 crew & the Athens crew that had driven down to hang with us all went to have lunch, & then headed over to 24-7 to talk & pray. It was a great time of community, storytelling, mission-meshing, prophetic ministry, & input. We came away as family & servant-partners. We came away with love for that Athens crew who are about to embark on a justice-journey & Boiler Room type plant in a poor area of Athens. There were tears & hugs & goodbyes that lingered. When I finally made it home, our chef roommate made dinner for us & we ate, talked, & made mmmmmm noises throughout. Afterwords, I spent a chunk of time with just my boy & I. Playing games, hanging out at the park, playing with markers, & laughing like pals.
Now I sit here at Starbucks writing out these thoughts, trying to decompress from the day’s events. Tomorrow… we hit the ground running. Leaving no stone unturned in due diligence to discover & do God’s will for Renovatus & for 24-7.
