Mission

This past Sunday night at our Veritas House Church we got to support 2 college students who are a part of Veritas. These two students are going on Summer Project through Campus Crusade. One is going to Chicago and the other to Milwaukee. We were able to give them each a check to support their mission work as well as lay hands on them and pray for them. This is one of the most rewarding parts for me, when we get to commission people from within our ministry to go out and be the hands and feet of Christ in the world. So my prayers go out to Courtney and Joe as they leave on these extended mission projects.

Speaking about mission projects...we have been doing alot of thinking and praying about how we as Veritas need to be more missional, not just as individuals but as a community. We have also been doing alot of praying, talking and thinking about our future and these two things are coming together at the same time, I believe for an awesome purpose. God is at work within us pushing us towards greater missional engagement with the community around us.

One of the statements that has stuck with me for the last several months is "if your church (or ecclesia) suddenly disappeared from your community would anyone not only miss it but grieve the loss" This has been driving me to ask that question in regards to Veritas and how we might move forward from this point into more faithful missional engagement. Continue to pray for us (Veritas, as well as Kim and I) as we look towards the future and seeking to help partner with Christ in building His kingdom.
