i'm sitting at a borrowed computer as we take a rest stop outside of kansas city. this trip has already proven a testimony in the provision of the Lord. sleeping in warehouses of ministries or on the borrowed floor of a church building, we're pouring our hearts out to the Lord -- praying for revival, worshiping with all that we have, and just plain getting to know each other at the beginning of our Summer of Love Tour. who is we? almost 200 people -- the youngest on our journey is 5 weeks old. the oldest, well, it probably wouldn't be polite to ask the grandmothers among us their age. the bulk of the travelers are from 15 to 30. and we're all here to fulfill our purposes in Jesus.
what can i tell you quickly? the body of Christ is alive and well! we've had delays getting buses to us on time and most of us have been without luggage (or showers!) for 3 days. and somehow, there's no complaining. we seem to be experiencing a bit of the "hippie" culture that none of us expected.
last night we were greeted by Christians who lived outside of St. Louis, Missouri. They had donned tie-dyed shirts and were waving big banners to welcome us to one of their churches where they fed us grilled burgers & home made salads & goodies. the women (and some of the men) who were in our convoy - myself included - simply wept as we pulled into the parking lot. after such a long day of travelling & cleaning & even preparing meals on the fly the last few days, the welcome was so sweet. the love of Jesus was evident among the people gathered from different fellowships.
maybe it's true my friends. . . . all we need is love? :-)
