I feel like Flat Stanley! Stanley Lambchop was an ordinary boy until he was flattened one night when a bulletin board hanging over his bed fell on him. This unusual turn of events enabled the fictitious Stanley to slide under doors and travel cross country through the mail.
It is Wednesday night in Cali. We drive down crowded streets. Two lanes accommodate three vehicles. Automobiles, bicycles, and a swarm of motorcycles all vie for space.
Today we met with church planting partners in Villavicencio, Colombia. What a wonderful time! These leaders understand the need for a new paradigm of church planting, one that is both reproducing and self-supporting. Not only do they understand it, they are doing it.
"I am tired, but happy!" These words come from a man I greatly respect. Ricardo is a church planting movement leader in the country of Brazil. God is using him to build a network of churches and leaders that are identifying, equipping, and launching church planters.
I thought a tithe was something I dropped into the offering plate, not ate off my plate. That was until I read Deuteronomy.
