Triple C News - June 2
Hey, everyone!
Wow! Lots goin’ on this week in Triple C world! Let’s see…
A busload of kids and leaders will be on their way to a beeeeeeautiful Young Life camp just past Brevard NC for a week of hearing about, thinking about and deciding about the prospect of opening their hearts to the love of a Savior and Friend Who has promised…and can…and will!…make all things new…
And we already have kids “out there” in these camps (or on their way shortly!) AND around the world, serving the One Who already made all things new for them…
And there is a loads of folks involved in all kinds of things around town (and K-town!) to help others know Him better…
So…
First announcement!
In the light of all of the above…
Monday evening at 6:30pm…
and/or Tuesday morning at 6:00am…
we always meet to pray! For ourselves, our community, our town, our world!
Ever heard of Count Nikolaus Ludwig von Zinzendorl??
So, he was a super rich aristocrat who lived in a kind of German Downtown Abbey in Berthesdorf, Germany in the early 1700’s. He super loved Jesus and when some hassled and persecuted Moravian Jesus followers asked if they might live on his property for a while to catch a breath, he welcomed them with open arms and an open heart! Wasn’t long before it became a cozy little village of them. With all they had been through, they were a little raggedy, emotionally and some quibbling broke out, complete with hurt feelings and all the rest that goes with that stuff. Count Nick took the lead and invited them all to a time of reflecting and seeking Jesus’ heart…
a time to “confess the mess” and forgive!
And they did!
But wait! There’s more!
Some of them (48 brothers and sisters in Jesus, to be exact) liked being in step with Jesus so much that they decided to commit to praying together…
around the clock…
two by two by two…
each couple taking a one-hour shift…
so that one pair was interceding for their village every hour for an entire day!!
And they did it the next day!
And the next!
God began to encourage them with beautiful answers to all their “asks”!
And their hearts grew!
And they began to talk to their Father in Heaven about other counties…
and the whole country…
and other countries…
and all the world!!
This went on without stopping for several days…
and weeks…and months…
in fact, they prayed non-stop for 100 years!!
They talked to Him about how people needed Jesus…
(He knew!)
and what they might do about it…
(He also knew this!)
and before they were done, 300 of the “citizens” of this sweet village had gone to the West Indies, Greenland, Turkey, Lapland, and beyond, sharing His love everywhere with everyone!
So, we meet on Mondays and Tuesdays.
Our Monday time has been going on every week for about eleven years or so.
We’re more than 10% of the way there!
Not bad!
Come join us!
