In Peru ministering at the Corazon conference - what a great group of leaders and servants of Christ... awesome!
We have received calls/emails for Portuguese church in London, from group of leaders in Nigeria, from a dozen other nations about the men's movement in their areas - while we're here in Lima... amazing how it's growing around the world!
Was sick for past couple days, but ministered today ok - seem to pick up something in Peru about every other trip...but, it's awesome conference with great connects for men's movement around the world...
Did session on social justice - that was their title - started it with observation that the greatest moment of social justice in human history is the moment that Christ hung on the Cross - set us all free, and made the wrong things right... then talked about the fact that most social justice is most often a moment of singular personal opportunity... that it is about one person doing something that affects another person - gave the example of Arland Williams - the 46yr old bank examiner that was one of 6 survivors of the crash of Air Florida flight90 - which crashed on take-off in snow and ice in 1982 - when rescue helicopter came and lowered rope - Arland helped the other five survivors onto the rope...at the cost of his own life... question was - "are you willing to be the last guy in the water?"
Effective... not about finely crafted sermons - it's about results.
