Launch ! It is here. HSQUAD (my team) is here in Georgia!
The overwhelming love of the Lord surrounds us as He has paved the way for us to be flying out to Jaco, Costa Rica on Tuesday morning.
We have the most amazing, God-loving leaders. Truly their hearts are on fire for the Lord. They pour so much of His Love and Truth over us. They shared the following vision they are praying over our squad..
“We are the church.
Kingdom is the culture.
We are transformed racers who together are passionately pursuing Jesus
walking in redemption and experiencing revival.”
Our leaders continued to share the passage of 2Corinthians 5:14-21; yet, I could not get passed the very first verse.
“For the love of Christ constraineth us…” (vs.14)
Constrain defined means to force or to compel.
Guys, the Love of God truly compels. When we are living abundantly in the Father’s love it forces us to pour out that same love to those around us. It is that good!!
My team and I right now are living in a taped off section of the floor in a large room until we fly out Tuesday morning. Our squad has 44 people. However, to minister effectively we are split into smaller teams. This taped off little portion of the floor which holds all 6 of my team members (you will get to meet them in a later blog) is where we sleep, eat, fellowship and worship due to Covid-preventative measures.
Sounds pretty crazy, right?
Kinda is a little strange…
But! the Love of our God has constrained us to be here! It has pushed us pass the emotions of leaving loved ones, the spaces of comfort, the fears rushing in, and the circumstances of this Covid reality. It has brought us together on one accord. This one accord is the Love of God we have and are passionately continuing to pursue.
WE ARE THE CHURCH!!!
KINGDOM IS OUR CULTURE!!
It is a love that breaks every barrier. It removes every chain. It sets the captives free. It restores the broken. It truly changes every space it is invited in.
I pray you invite God into every space today.
His love is always surrounding you; ready to embrace you, dear friend.
God, we are here for you. Constrain us. Compel us. Force us into action. Continue to move in this space and prepare our hearts for the work that lies ahead.
