{Hoffman Holla' 2018-7} Spring Semester Fruit


First Fruits from the Spring

First Fruits - as I read scripture I think that God often provides first fruits - immediate yet subdued results that encourage the dedication to the movement.

I pray this over our volunteers who are launching mobilization movements within their communities and I celebrate the first fruits from the Spring semester. Here are some of the things God is doing among us.

"From my observations as someone who has served both as a long term cross cultural worker and a missions pastor, the Perspectives course would be one of the best tools currently available for equipping both Church leaders and members to engage in significant, strategic and fruitful cross-cultural missions."

"My whole world view has been changed, my perspective, shifted. The first class shifted my reading of scripture, the subsequent classes changed my focus to God's glory. History encouraged me, culture changed my thoughts on world view and enlightened me, the strategic perspective has challenged me. I will never walk the same again. Thanks for this opportunity. Praise God !!"

"I didn't realize the current (imbalance) distribution of the lost and focus of where we are currently sending money and missionaries. I didn't realize how scripture read that the commission was always a part of God's plan. I learned a great deal about culture and our approach to sharing the gospel (even in our culture here locally)."

Join me in asking God to continue to mobilize His church to participate in His Mission.

Support Update

Here is our current support status (updated 7/31/18)

Romans 10 Devotion

Join us in praying through Romans 10.

During our training for coordinators we opened Day 2 with a devotion on Romans 10. We split it into four sections having people read and pray through it.

Thanksgiving for the Gospel of Salvation (vs. 8b-13)
“The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart" (that is, the word of faith that we proclaim); 9 because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved. 11 For the Scripture says, “Everyone who believes in him will not be put to shame." 12 For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, bestowing his riches on all who call on him. 13 For “everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved."

The state of Unreached Peoples (vs. 14ab)
14 How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard?

For Laborers / Proclaimers (vs. 14c)
And how are they to hear without someone preaching?

For Mobilization / Senders / Perspectives (vs. 15)
15 And how are they to preach unless they are sent? As it is written, w“How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the good news!"

Pray specifically for the alumni of Spring 2018 classes, current students in the Fall 2018 classes and the coordinators preparing for Spring 2019 classes.

*Pray for our family and the adoption process.

What is Perspectives?

Perspectives is a fifteen week course designed around four vantage points or "perspectives" — Biblical, Historical, Cultural and Strategic. Each one highlights different aspects of God's global purpose.

The Biblical and Historical sections reveal why our confidence is based on the historic fact of God's relentless work from the dawn of history until this day.

The Cultural and Strategic sections underscore that we are in the midst of a costly, but very "do-able" task, confirming the Biblical and Historical hope.

Next Issue (August 2018)

We have been faithful in dedicating the time to support raising. The process (when done well) takes a lot on the front end and so we are moving into a stage of more meetings and more asks.
