What every country, city and community needs - Bono

What if every country had a Bono from U2? Even better what if every city and community had a normal guy and gal who said let's change our world. Let's get out there and love others. Let's tackle poverty. Let's remedy homelessness. Let's do all that Christ came to earth to do, redeem, reconcile and give life to all.

"The Spirit of the Lord is on me,
because he has anointed me
to preach good news to the poor.
He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners
and recovery of sight for the blind,
to release the oppressed,
to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor."
Isaiah 61:1,2

You'll be inspired by Bono's comments on ending poverty.

I couldn't agree more - this is the disciple we need.

Jay Lorenzen from On Movements said it best and it summarizes some of my observations from our time in Boulder the past 12 years. When we had problems in Boulder is was partly in response to having and producing the wrong kind of disciple. He talks about the kind of disciples (Christians) we need to impact our world. This is exactly what we're looking for.

1. Real, Not Religious
2. Teaching others to obey rather than to know.
3. Living Apostolically
4. Seeing Mission Philosophically, not geographically
5. Expecting to Change the World
6. Measuring growth by capacity to release, not retain
7. Placing Kingdom concerns first.

300 Campuses and Beyond

We sit here sometimes and think what in the world have we gotten ourselves into. This past week, Steve, prayer walked a private Catholic University (pictured left: Universidad de Anahuac) near our home that was filled with about 5,000 college students talking, drinking coffee, smoking, studying and hurrying off to class. The university student in Mexico City is no different than any university student in the U.S.

So why do we feel anxious about our new role here in Mexico?

The major difference is that we're not just reaching 28,000 college students on one campus but God has called us to give each and every student in the city on over 300 universities an opportunity to be part of a Biblical, Spirit-filled, Missional Community where they can know God and build His Kingdom.

This is where we know our efforts are limited and God must move. We are daily reminded that "Unless the Lord builds the house, its builders labor in vain." Ps 127:1

Daily we are asking God to raise up laborers on each campus and in each department that will start a spiritual movement. Our prayer and desire is that these movements are not built around us or Campus Crusade but around the Gospel and mission that Jesus left us. We believe that God is going to pour out a revival in this city. It will require dependent prayer and humility before God and others.

Our family has been adjusting to the city and our new home. Our family has experienced some bugs and just plain exhaustion, while getting used to the 7,7000 altitude. It rains just about everyday. In light of all the changes we are so thankful to call this home and the city God is calling us to serve.

We are thankful to God for the past 6 months of preparation in our lives. We appreciate your prayers, encouragement and financial support as we left Boulder, served in Long Beach and moved to Mexico. To God be the glory in our lives, our partnership with you and in Mexico City!

Huge Miracle at Home

For the past 2 1/2 weeks our street where we moved into was pretty quiet. We were concerned because we didn't see many kids around. Actually we saw none.

Then the miracle happened. Yesterday about 2 pm I looked out our window and I saw about 7 kids all playing and hanging out. Immediately we all ran out side and introduced ourselves. We met Frank (9), Ana Laura (about 11) and Isabela (2). They live in Periban 2 and Frank and Ana Laura both speak Spanish and English. Then we met two other little ones, probably around 3 and 1 1/2 years old. Then we met Sophia who is 12. She also is bilingual. Today the boys even went by themselves over to Frank's house, rang his doorbell, and asked him to play. 2 1/2 hours later I had to go down there and ask them to come home. Praise the Lord.

This morning Benjamin shared with Christine that he is happy now in Mexico because he has friends. Jonathan, who turns 8 this Saturday is already planning inviting these kids to his birthday party.

We're so thankful for our home, the location and the neighbors. We can't wait to have you as a visitor. Now we're just waiting for raining season to end. It rains about 2 hours a day.

Why Can't This Happen Again?

As we have moved to Mexico City this past month and as I communicate the vision and calling God has given us to others around in Mexico City I am burdened by the impossibility of what we're hearing God move us to. Can each and every college student in Mexico City (approx. 1,000,000) be part of a Biblical Spirit Filled Missional Community that impacts their universities, their families and their communities? At first glance I say "no way!" But then in God's grace He reminds that He has done this before and He can do it again.

From Why Campus Revivals Spark Missionary Advance--In America's Past, Every New Missionary Thrust has followed a Spiritual Revival in Colleges. Will It Happen Again. By J. Edwin Orr I was encouraged today.

Here are a few snippets:
"Can you imagine...
-one third of a university's student body coming to Christ in a single year?
-50 percent of those new believer's going into full-time Christian work following graduation?
-more than 20,000 students eventually serving Christ overseas due to the influence of a few of these students?
Imagine it, because it all happened!"

I read this article and I noticed a common theme:
"In 1787, with the moral climate there deteriorating rapidly, five non-Christian students decided to hold a prayer meeting to ask for God's help. They locked themselves in a room, for fear of the other students, and kept their voices down so they would not be caught."

"In college after college students formed similar Christian fellowships. At Harvard, Bowdin, Brown, Dartmouth, Middlebury, Williams, and Andover, students began to meet and pray. Three students at Brown formed the College Praying Society which met in a private room "for fear of disturbance from the unpenitent." In December 1802, at Harvard, seven students formed the Saturday Evening Religious Society, which also met secretly."

"At Williams College in Massachusetts, the scene of discouraging anti-Christian rioting, there was a small secret band of Christians as well. Burdened by the deplorable conditions on campus, they met twice a week to pray for revival. Little did they know how abundantly God would honor their faith. As a result of their prayers, God used these students to make an impact on not only their campus, but also on an entire century."

"One hot August afternoon in 1806 five students hide themselves to pray under the camouflage of a maple grove."

"Through his leadership and the student's prayers, evangelist Dwight L. Moody was persuaded to conduct a series of evangelistic meetings on campus. As a result, nearly a third of the student body received Christ."

"On college campuses during the 19th century, God revived generation after generation of students and used them to move the church closer to the fulfillment of the Great Commission. They first pioneered work along the coast lands of Africa and Asia. Then by 1886 a second era of Protestant missions saw footholds established in the vast inland territories of those lands through thousands of student volunteers. As today's students are sensitive to the conviction and call of the Holy Spirit, perhaps they can match their predecessor's faith and actions.

Could it be that a movement of 20th century volunteers and national believers might make this the third and final era of missions?

Perhaps the volunteers' objective, "The Evangelization of the World in This Generation," will be realized during your lifetime."

It sounds like we need to start praying for small movements of students to start praying for God's glory and that the Gospel will penetrate deep into our hearts and those that don't yet know Him.

Join with us in praying that God will raise up radical movements in each department and in university in Mexico City.

It can happen again!!!!!

Confessions on Prayer

I have to confess. Prayer is got to be one of the hardest and most inconsistent spiritual disciplines in my life. I know it is the most important aspect needed in my life but I struggle. I have been reading a bit on it, not hard for me, and realized I need help.

If you have any interest in bathing our ministry, family and leadership in prayer read the following and please contact us. We know that unless the Lord builds the house, it's builder's labor is in vain. We don't want to start one bit of our ministry without a solid prayer base, consistent and faithful prayer, in my life and with others.

I read from Glenn Smith's blog New Church Initiatives this:
"When Ken Werlein came to town to start a Methodist church, he did not know anyone.
He simply began to pray and talk to people. As he prayed, God connected him with the
right folks. Before long he began a Bible study in his apartment. They prayed for God's
intervention and experienced it. They prayed for conversions and saw them. They
prayed for healings and witnessed miracles. They prayed for land and God exceeded
their expectations. They continue to pray and God continues to do amazing things."

Glenn also posted 5 short articles you should read.

1. Essential in Church Planting: Vital place of prayer
2. Essential in Church Planting: The Importance of Intercessory Prayer
3. Essential in Church Planting: Intercession for Yourself and Other Christian Leaders
4. Essential in Church Planting: Selecting the Right Personal Intercessors
5. Essential in Church Planting: A Prayer Ministry in your New Church

We need your help. We need the Spirit to move. We need the Lord to protect us, guide us, speak to us and heal this city. We can't do anything alone.

thanks for praying.

The Mexico City you probably didn't know about

"From the moment you disembark your plane at Mexico City's Benito Juarez International Airport, your body must begin adjusting to the new atmosphere. It is thin, as the city sits in an enormous valley at an elevation of 7,300 feet, and also famously polluted. More striking is the smell. The air here tastes like charred corn. The history of the country's conquest bears down upon the Valley of Mexico with the fury of the rain clouds that drown away the smog nearly every summer afternoon."

Today I caught a journalists, DANIEL HERNANDEZ take on Mexico City. He said in LA Weekly, "All I can do is take stock of the scene around me -- a roomful of beautiful and handsome 20- and 30-something Mexican creative types, all of them stylishly dressed, all of them smoking, all clearly coming from money. Fauxhawks, it seems, are big here. Impressive contemporary art hangs on the walls, and expensive furniture is placed sparsely across the hardwood floors. I feel as if I'm 10 stories up somewhere on Wilshire Boulevard -- in 1975."

Read the whole thing at Down and Delirious in Mexico City and have your eyes opened. We prayed this morning that God would reach the whole city. Not just the down trodden and poor but each and every person. They need a movement of the Spirit just as well.

The Zen of Costco

A good friend, Ethan, sent this to me knowing that I'm a die hard Costco fan. Yes, I have even been to two Costcos in Mexico City. The Lord is good.

The Zen of Costco
Date: 2006-07-16, 9:02PM PDT
First, be sure that you are prepared. Do you have The Card? What do you Need?

Next, consider the day and time. This is simply an exercise. There is no time that you can go to Costco when it will not be crowded. Accept this.

Stage one of your journey is the parking lot. The people are not looking. Do not hit them. Drive very very slowly. First gear. Slow, deep breaths. This will prepare you for the deeper stages. Patience is key in finding a parking spot. And if you are willing to back up an entire row length at 2 mph, a spot near the door can be yours.

As you enter, do not be distracted by the flat screen tv's. These are not the droids you're looking for.

Proceed with caution. Your cart cannot be steered forcefully. A light touch is needed. And be prepared to shift directions at a moment's notice. Practice cart ju jitsu. Feint. Pause. Look out for small women moving briskly. You do not need to be in their hurried way.

Items will not be where you expect them. One brand of toilet paper will not be sitting near the others. But allow your eyes to be open, for you will discover unexpected delights, such as a 10-cup fuzzy logic rice cooker for $89.99.

Be flexible, and let go of your expectations. Knowing that the 64-oz. Johnnie Walker Black Label won't fit (or look respectable, for that matter) in your liquor cabinet, choose the 750 of Glenlivet 12. Choose a few wines that you've never had before, trusting in the wisdom of the Costco wine buyer, who purchases more wine than anyone in America.

Relax into your poses, and do not allow the needs of others to influence you. Do not line up for the schmear of canned chicken salad on white bread that is being passed out. Your hunger needs can be met later.

Allow yourself to enjoy the beauty of the flowers. They are temporary.

Pick a checkout line. It doesn't matter which one. This is an opportunity to practice patience. Be friendly to the cashier. Allow the noises and shapes to soften. It is peaceful.

Next, allow your body and brain to come back slowly to the real world as you face the geometry problem of loading up a 2-seater convertible with all your purchases. Will the toilet paper fit in the front seat? Spatial awareness is important. This exercise will prepare you for re-entry.

Reflect on your experience as you slowly exit the parking lot. Did you find what you Need? Were you pleasantly surprised? Has the Costco experience created a sense of abundance?

And where are you going to put the 10-pack of Kleenex?

this is in or around Aisle 352

We had an earthquake. Hmmm, we missed it

About 10 minutes ago my mom called on our new Vonage line and asked how we survived the earthquake. I didn't know we had one. She said it was a 5.9 magnitude. That is big. It was about 120 miles west of here and we didn't feel a thing. Christine was on a walk, I was blogging and reading and the boys were drawing. Oh well we missed something exciting.

Neil Cole and Prayer

This summer in Long Beach, CA on our project we had Neil Cole, author of Organic Church and Cultivating a life for God, come by and share a word. Recently those at the House Church Blog interviewed him. What encourages me is his practice of prayer. This challenges me lately but I know this is the most important part of planting movements. Neil's emphasis this summer to us was wait on the Lord, listen to Him only, and do what He says, then you'll plant movements.

Neil Cole on living missionally

My thought for Mexico City is pray, pray, pray and get out there and see what God is already doing. Join Him!

The mission of the Church

Sam Metcalf, president of CRM, has caught my eye this morning as I'm catching up on some long needed reading. I have felt for many years that I really don't fit into the mold of the western church and ministry. I really don't have the gift for preaching or shepherding and I don't find much success in building large movements that are built around a weekly gathering, worship and preaching. What I do find is the going, creating, planting, and figuring out new areas to be my passion. I want to take the Gospel to all areas not just take care of those who already have it. But our church in the west tends to be built on the gifts of preaching, teaching, education and shepherding those who are already believers with the hopes that they will become missional and get out in their communities and the world. The reality is that few rarely ever get the missional bug and leave their lives of receiving great teaching, preaching and care.

Sam in The Supremacy of the Church article quotes Charles Mellis, "The leadership of nurture structures (congregations and linkage structures) on whom we largely depend for our Christian education have always tended to a mono-structural view of the Church. In fact, our theologians tend to define the Church in terms of this nurture structure." Read the whole post.

If we begin to see the need for the apostolic gifts, the missional training and flat out sending believers into the world along with the teaching, preaching and shepherding in the church we may see God's Kingdom grow like never before. A balanced approach to our training, ministry and lifestyle like found Eph 4:11 is what we need.

"It was he who gave some to be apostles, some to be prophets, some to be evangelists, and some to be pastors and teachers, to prepare God's people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ."

Living in the City

Being in Long Beach, CA this summer opened my eyes to what God is doing in big cities like the Los Angeles area and in places like Mexico City. Sam Metcalf writes a blog post Urban Realities that confirms that we must think and act differently to reach people living in big cities.

"Within a year or so, more people will live in cities than in the countryside for the first time in human history: the 21st century will be an urban one. But increasingly, the urban core itself is downsizing. Already, half the city dwellers in the world live in metropolises with less than half-a-million residents. Second Cities--from exurbs to regional hubs, resort towns to provincial capitals--are booming." Newsweek

We're on the Adventure

Since my last post so much has happened in Mexico. The least to say is that there are hundreds of thousands of protesters blocking the cities main economic and cultural hot spots. You can read more at Election Protest Grow In Mexico City. The city and country are going through a bit of tension regarding their last election about a month ago. We drove real close to the protests but the streets were closed so no go.

Day 2 of being in Mexico City was filled with getting lost in our car, going to Walmart, Costco and spending about 2 hours getting a cell phone. We didn't even get to go home with our new cool talking machines. We have to come back tomorrow. Then we dropped the kids off back to our hotel/apartment flat and Christine and I headed out to look for a washing machine, dryer and fridge. We didn't have phones, we didn't really know where we were going and we left my non-Spanish speaking sister with the kids at the hotel. We arrived late but Isa and Benjamin just woke up from a well needed naps. Perfect. We warmed up some Cambells Soup, Clam Chowder style and Benjamin fell back asleep in his chair. Only to be woken up later with a sick stomach and some toilet bowl time. Yuck. He slept well that night as we worried he would hurl again.

Day 3. Since Christine and I arrived about a month earlier on July 8 with our FM3 visas we had to register them on Day 3, Thursday. We had an appointment to meet Illiana, the hired lawyer who CCC uses in Mexico for this continued exciting adventure of getting visas. She was blown away at the inaptitude of the Santa Ana Mexican Consulate in California. They made mistakes and 2 of our visas had to be redone. Take me know Jesus. After 3 1/2 hours we left that office. It was promised it would take 2 hours max. He He He. We're learning something about patience already in Day 3. Oh yeah, we still don't have the registered visas. We're to get them on Aug 18.

The cool thing was that we drove right by Liverpool (department store) and Sears. We needed to do some comparison shopping for our appliances, mostly to calm my bargain buying spirit. Sears turned out to be a win. We found a dryer, washing machine (floor model) and Fridge. The washing machine was to be delivered on Saturday but the Fridge and dryer on Tues. Ouch. 5 days with out a Fridge. This was going to be good.

Day 4. The long awaited and fearful arrival of our shipment from the U.S. was to arrive at 9am. Thanks for all your prayers. It actually worked out better. We did some much needed shopping, visa registering and learning the area in which we live before our stuff arrived. We got up early, loaded up the van with our luggage and kids and headed to our house to do some cleaning. We drove up and the truck and 5 sleeping on the curb Mexicans were already at our house. Hey they broke the rule of being late. We hurried ourselves into a frenzy and I pulled the paper work to check box by box that it was all there. They were saintly machines. They took each box to the location we told them and unpacked it and took out the trash. Wow. After 6 1/2 hours later, no food, kids running around like crazy fools, Isa taking a nap, missing two boxes, and a broken exercise bike and damage chair we drove to get lunch or dinner. We're not sure what it was. We we're beat.

It was fun to see stuff we haven't seen since May 9. It was even more fun to sleep in our beds. Aaaagh. My sister slept in a make shift guest room and the kids in their rooms. My sister's room, the guest room, was found to be a wind tunnel and a leaky faucet. The doors had no seals and rain just poured in. We also found the carpet to be soaked. Oh the home projects began.

Day 5, 6, 7 and beyond. The remaining days seemed to be getting as much stuff done around the house to make it livable and then rush off to eat somewhere with the kids and my sister. We did the best we could without a fridge and filtered water. Many trips to Walmart, Costco food court and Home Depot. Finally our landlord sent a dear man, Benito, to do some home repairs. He is here today fixing our doorbell intercom system and the security system. The leaking doors have been fixed with much weather stripping, foam filler (I'll have to tell you about how the foam attacked me and didn't come off my hands for 2 days), and some cement I laid on the ground to adjust the flow of water. Then we started on putting up window covers and have had a blast with plaster/cement walls. I miss dry wall already. There are many more things to fix, the least is not the rotted patio beams, but we're enjoying each day more and more.

We have had to adjust our expectations of what we want to get done each day as my, not Christine's Spanish, is limited when I go shopping. We are also on day 4 of waiting for the Home Depot water filter installers to show up. We were promised they would come on Tues. It is 9am on Friday and they are not here yet. But our wash machine, dryer and Fridge are all working well and we're eating much better at home. Our house on Periban (our street) is becoming a home.

Thanks for all your prayers. As we get used to living here in our house we are still reminded as we drive around the city the shear numbers of people here who don't know Jesus. Yesterday was a great day. We received our phone land line, hooked up the internet and our vonage phone number for calling the states, hooked up our sprinkler Elmo deal for the kids, blew up the bike tires and went for a ride.

Last night Benjamin prayed that we would find friends, speak Spanish and find people who don't know Jesus so we can tell them. I don't think the last request will be hard to find.

Lessons about spirituality

This morning, after receiving internet yesterday, I read an article by Floyd McClung, who used to work with YWAM, challenged me in the area of Spirituality. I think I used to find myself an expert of this. Oops, I'm back to trusting Jesus to grow me again.

Here is a snippet of his post:

Try these on for size and see how they fit:

• Trust really trust God- "There has never been the slightest doubt in my mind that the God who started this great work in you would keep at it and bring it to a flourishing finish...."
• Jesus - "Living is for Christ, and dying is even better...."
• Grow relationally - "Be deep-spirited friends. Don't push your way to the front; don't sweet-talk your way to the top. Put yourself aside, and help others get ahead. Don't be obsessed with getting your own advantage...."
• Let go of the little things - "Yes, all the things I once thought were so important are gone from my life. Compared to the high privilege of knowing Christ Jesus as my Master, firsthand, everything I once thought I had going for me is insignificant-dog dung. I've dumped it all in the trash so that I could embrace Christ 9 and be embraced by him."
• Laugh a lot - "Celebrate God all day, every day. I mean, revel in him!"

What does it mean to you to be spiritual? I encourage you to share your ideas with another follower of Jesus, or better yet, with someone who doesn't follow Jesus.

Blessings,
Floyd

We Arrived Today!!

I can't believe about 11 months ago my friend and regional director, Ken Miller, asked me to join him on a trip to Mexico City to talk about a new strategy to reach the whole city. He wanted me to come to share some thoughts and also, maybe, consider leading some sort of team here. I thought he was nuts to the leading this outreach but the ticket was free, so I took him up. Now 11 months later I arrived in Mexico City with my family. Wow. God is good and has done a ton in my life, our family and we are learning a ton still today. I'm excited to be here and see what God has in store for us and mostly for what He has in store for the city. Ultimately I pray that God's Kingdom and glory is exalted, not us.

Our flight from Dallas, Tx left without a glitch and we arrived about an hour before my sister, Sarah, arrived in Mexico City. She is joining us for 7 days here to help with the kids. We grabbed a suburban taxi and arrived at a temporary hotel/suites. Then immediately I ran to the local pharmacy to buy some food. Yes, pharmacy and little food items. Then when I arrived back at the hotel our friend Irma pulled up. She was taking us to our house.

Dr. Mario, our landlord and owner of our house, was waiting for us to show us all the keys, turn offs for water and electric and some other nuts and bolts of our new house on Bosque de Periban 7. We spent very little time there and hurried off to where our Honda Odyssey is parked. We grabbed it and came back to the hotel, where the kids and my sister had been hanging.

Wow. It is for real. Not totally yet because our shipment hasn't cleared customs so we're at least 3 days out from receiving our things. Tomorrow we're buying a fridge, washer, dryer, micro, vacuum, cell phones and clean the house a bit.

We're hoping all goes smoothly and praying that we walk by faith each day.

Thanks for joining us in this adventure.
