Open Door of Ministry

Monte posted this on Facebook last night
"Tomorrow morning I am away 18 – 21 June 2012 on my first mission venture to Vietnam. There I will deliver for some believers in an emerging work there, a series on "Missions in the book of Acts." What the Lord has now given me to share from Luke-Acts is, a trinitarian shaped theology / model of ministry:
1. Ministry in the way of Jesus – Imitatio Dei.
2. Ministry in the Mission of God – Missio D
ei.
3. Ministry in the power of the Spirit – Virtutis Dei.

For the healing of all nations—
In all upper rooms; on all tongues—
Breathe fresh winds;
Let fire fall.
In our hearts, send flames of love.
With visions of the Kingdom—
To all creation— may healing flow.
In the name of Jesus— let healing flow
."
Monte has arrived in Vietnam. We thank God for the open door to minister. Serving and loving God and His people takes on new significance when we see the smallness of our strength and the greatness of God's power. It is an awesome privilege to be part of what God is doing in the hearts and lives of broken people. The Lord pours forth His spirit on us, His sons and daughters, and He declares His everlasting love for all who call on the name of the Lord.
