We are heading back home, after a week in Ontario. Our meeting with the Grace Walk Leadership Team and our Growing Grace Revolution Conference were great experiences for all of us who attended. It was encouraging to us all to be together again and to have our Father further unify our hearts and clarify our shared vision to impact the world with the message of the grace walk.
Many of our team members shared the stories of their own journeys into the grace walk. Regardless of the details, the pattern for everybody who comes to understand the grace walk is the same. 1.Trying zealously to live the Christian life. 2.Beginning to feel like something isn't right in our walk with God. 3. Becoming discouraged and utterly defeated, often as a result of a great trial that leads us to brokenness. 4. Being exposed to what the Apostle Paul called "the mystery of the gospel" (the grace walk). 5.Feeling like we've been been born again . . . again. 5. Seeing everything in life differently. 6. Ongoing transformation in which we feel a new sense of freedom, joy, rest, absence of condemnation, love for Christ and others, etc.
It's the same story, all over the world. This week was a great time for us to bask in our Father's love and enjoy each other's company. Now we're all going home, fired up about sharing this wonderful gospel of grace in our respective countries.
Michael Zenker and the Grace Walk Canada team did an awesome job planning this event. I hope to have pictures and video here on the blog soon.
