yes. yes i did.
but skype is no angry birds or the free trial version of cut the rope. skype is revolutionary technology, somewhere just shy of teleportation (and perhaps, the best substitute as of yet).
tonight, our DMS group met back up for a "fellowship" night. that is a fancy way to say that we aren't done with what God is doing (or, rather, He is nowhere near done working in us), and we're pursuing and cultivating the relationships and revival culture that DMS furnished for us. we are somewhere between being just merely a Bible study, and really being a church; what distinguishes us from each is that we are not looking up to a pulpit to be fed, nor are we quite pouring out and serving those that come to be ministered to. rather, this season looks as if we are going to learn what it is like to be discipled, and to walk towards leadership with each other. it is a very unique place, and the ground is fertile for all that the Lord wants to do with us, in us, and through us.
as we worshiped, prayed, studied the word, and discussed how to proceed with this 'fellowship' here in nashville, we were tri-continental. yes, TRI! our DMS leaders Di and Bram were both tuned in on Skype (on two separate computers) from Jakarta, Indonesia and Melbourne, Australia, respectively. one of the DMS students was visiting family in oregon and tuned in as well. we all came from 4 different time zones, 2 different days even. it was awesome to worship God here in the Love's living room, then have Di open us in prayer from a lobby in Indo, where Jakarta Life Church is set to launch on Sunday. we all virtually laid hands on Frank, the pastor to pray for an anointing and declare God's promises over the new church body from across the globe. then we gathered around CeCe and Alvin, to pray for an anointing and divine wisdom, guidance and knowledge as they open their home and lives to walk towards the huge things God wants to do here in Nashville. as we concluded prayer in their living room, my friend Alvin (their son), prayed for them over skype from Australia as well. it was seriously as if every person was in that room at the same time, and such a neat blessing to have people in four very different places praying this all into being and standing in agreement before the Lord. it was truly such a unique thing to be a part of, and i could not be more excited for all that is to come within this fellowship family! :)
