Hot on the heels of my reading (and blogging) Mark Batterson’s The Circle Maker–a wonder ful book on prayer–I got an opportunity to practice some of my newly learned circle-making skills. Actually, I had two opportunities today.
First, I got to mang out and drink coffee with Gary Brown, a man who has spent his life investing in others, making disciples, and living with Kingdom priorities in mind. He helped me work through some of the things that I have been wrestling with lately. Funny, I thought I was meeting with him to see how I could help him in his ministry…
Second, there was a city-church prayer gathering tonight. We drew circles around the church of the city, the congregations that gather all over Happy Valley, and the leadership of our community. Dan Nold had the opportunity to cast vision for what it’s going to take to see the culture of our community transformed by the grace of God. Jonathan Weibel had us pray about God’s preferred future for our valley. It was a good night.
This city-church prayer gathering is going to be a monthly deal. But if what I experienced tonight is an indication of things to come, I’m thinking that there will be lots of other prayer gatherings popping up around Happy Valley before a month passes.
