Thanks Andy. That definitely gives me something to think about in terms of building and passing on the movement.

Ignore my typos in comments above. SWEESH!

Should be 'they would have more left over'

'the more of a production we make...'

& 'sometimes what only we can do...'

Jess, Matt, Joe - thanks for the comments. Hmm maybe I should stir up hornet's nest more often because I rarely get comments. :)

One thign that may be overlooked is that COMMUNITY is still a huge value in launching mvts. And the early church met over meals. My pt was more in the line of what Joe mentioned that we 'need to remember sustainability and transferability'. Or in Matt's case sometimes we overdo it in trying 'run a program' that actually can stand in the way of evang & disc.

Sometimes its helpful to think, 'what do students in Japan/Slovakia/Mexico et.al. do when they gather for community?' Do they gather in homes and everyone just bring something? Then do that. The more of a productive we make, the more we model 'this is how it has to be' and we might be setting them up to fail. It's a hard balance because sometimes we only we can do (eng clubs for example) gather people. But I trust the Lord will all give you wisdom. That's why you make the big bucks!

Andy, I agree with you. Last semester we decided to cancel our weekly meeting b/c it wasn’t being evangelistic and was draining our team. We’ve had a lot of people ask us why we did that, but we saw our key students rise to the top and start to form the foundation of a true movement here in Kosice, Slovakia. I’m encouraged that you followed the Lord in laying down some severe truth for us all. Keep on doin’ it!

Bert.. that’s why in Mark 8 when Jesus tells them watch out for yeast of pharisees that the disciples think its because they forgot to bring the soda crackers. Jesus had to remind them that if they let Him provide the snacks they would more left over.

Do loaves and fish constitute snacks?

watch out! preach it bro. it’s a good word…i won’t even buy a much needed online database system due to incurring a cost that nationals would have to maintain in the coming years (we are creating our own using the latest freeware available on the web that is easily transferable). we must continually consider sustainability and transferability.
