Completed, but not yet done

Well the summer is officially over and i have been back into the states. Our CCP to Singapore is officially over, but I trust that our labor is still being used in advancing the kingdom of God forward. I truly apologize for the lengthy time since my last blog, but with it I bring good news. The Lord was doing much in Singapore. Our team as we built friendships with many students and Singaporeans all seemed to face a common problem... There were not enough hours in the day to meet with all the non-Christians that want to meet with  us and not only hang out with us, but investigate who Jesus is, and what did He claim, and why does everything hinge on Jesus and what He said about Himself. What a good problem to have.
The Lord taught me the most this summer about ministry. Through my personal time with God in the Word, through seminars and talks, through personal development and reading, and through the Holy Spirit molding my heart, everything I did and read, the Lord was breaking my heart for the Lost. Going into the summer, my biggest prayer for personal sanctification was that the Holy Spirit would give me the compassion for the lost that Jesus did in places like Matt 9. That as I walk on my university or down the street, or anywhere that I go, that as I look to the crowds, I desire to see people as God see's them. That without Jesus no one has any hope. Without the gospel no one has any hope. So how can we, how can I who have been saved and given the gospel and Jesus, can I continue to be as passive as I often am, when there is so much at stake. Now I am def not saying that I have the same compassion for people as Jesus did, but the Holy Spirit is transforming me drastically more into Christ's image. Now He taught me many more things about principles in ways that Jesus did ministry both in discipleship and evangelism, but the Lord really challenged me and broke me with the necessity of urgent evangelism. I'm not saying we are to proclaim on every street corners, but we are to live missionally where ever we go in two ways. We are to proclaim the love of Christ with our mouth be sharing, and also proclaim the love of Christ with our lives by demonstrating it.
