new things

We have been dreaming for the past few months of great new things....  mainly a sermon that has jolted us gladly, down to the core of who we are and what we are doing here.  A subtle and still somehow bold new aim (approach) for ministry among Uyghurs.    Acts 8.  May Christ be glorified!

And there's also a list of things on our minds... we've been talking about it, adding items to our mental list that one day we'll post and share....  for sure there could be ten thousand bold new things to ask the Father to do, to build his church among the Uyghur people:  specific steps forward we want to ask for and praise Him for as they come....  freedoms, voices, gatherings, art, songs, theology....

But this is a busy morning so for right now I will just share the very beginning of what we're dreaming...

Will you dream with us?  Pray with us boldly for the Uyghur people!?


What if God did Such a Miracle as this?  What if the government in XinJiang, in it's capital city, even coming from the national captial, would support a work of reconciliation between Han and Uyghurs.... in such a way as to give freedom to even Gospel work- Christian churches- where the races are being gathered togehter and reconciliation is sought?  

No government persecution against this work!?  Only the cultural forces of Islam and atheisim and secularism to tackle?  What joy!

It would be as wild a wonder as the Red Sea standing up tall and it's also a huge consideration whether or not this step would even be a blessing.... becuase perhaps it's the Lord plan for blessing to let this church be planted and thrive under persecution all the way?  If it is, we will honor the Lord in that.  But  if he just might open wide some doors....   may we never have not because we asked not!
