anywhere, anytime
Went out last night to celebrate our great friend Darren perform his final concert before heading off to the States to raise more support. He and his wife have a very creative approach to ministry, focusing on reaching the arts community in Edinburgh.
Edinburgh is a hot-bed for the arts. It is not suitable for short-term missions; it's a grueling task and am so inspired by their calling to serve here for the long-term.
After the concert, went out to a bar with he and some other people I'd never met and got to talking with this one chap in whom I discovered a lot of commonalities. Not sure how it came up, but he's a drummer at a church that meets in a theater here in Edinburgh and has a similar passion to reach the unchurched twenty-something.
I'm going to check them out next week and hoping there could be a partnership with this local church. It's so important to link arms with other bodies of believers in the area.
Even at 2:45 am in a bar God enables seeds for collaboration. Love it.

I've actually been finding myself having great times of fellowship with other Christians in bars...which for me at least, is probably a 180 from where I was even a year ago. I'm realising more and more that trying to put God in a box, and deciding that He can only speak and move Sunday mornings in a church building is ridiculous. I think that we really need to start rethinking more and more what "church" really is, and what that means.
Okay...enough rambling for now :-) Great post as always :-)
