1st week back

Well my first week back at Kaleo has been a great one. I took my theology of mission course, and found the teaching by Tim Stabell very solid and challenging. It really got me back to the basic foundation of deeds. All mission is God's mission. Meaning it is his work that he actually does, and he does through us people. I believe the problems start to come in when people think that they are going to help God out on their own with their own plan. Hoping to impress God with your wisdom, I think that is where the faith and deeds comes in. We shouldn't be lazy but we should also let God work through us and not force the issue so much.

This week was my first week back at my ministry as well. I am very excited because we are starting a new curriculum for the grade 4/5's. The previous lesson plans were obviously just boring for the kids, so we brought in a new plan called "Grapple" it is literally supposed to get the kids grappling with the Bible and with the concept of salvation (the New Testament). I think it is good for them, they had heard the stories countless times again, so they are ready for this.
