Staff Meetings

The theme of our staff meetings for the next and coming weeks are on the Harmony of the Gospel - this is to study the 4 Gospel in sequence of the evens which took place aligned by their writer. Staff meeting Monday mornings are always exciting and fun as its time to reconnect with the team serving in Durban, to pray for them and their ministry, to eat cake and drink coffee! Gary has made bible study to be challenging in a way that helps me understand how to lead one more than anything. He doesn't lead it, he guides it - his great in guiding conversations when we all sit together. Cheryl is just the same - today we were looking at how Matthew showed a characteristic of 'radical abandonment' when called by Jesus to follow Him after Jesus had picked up some few disciples, he now adding to the list of the 12 we know of today.

In the previous weeks we have started off from 'Not A Fan' as a bible study topic and that has really set the course of direction as we learn to distinguish between being a FAN or a FOLLOWER coupled with recognizing what a true disciple in Christ looks like with central themes such as Luke 9:23, the call to discipleship in Mark 1. Basically the focus is radical abandonment...fun hey??? Being a true follower is quite a challenge and I still haven't really all that well cleared it out in my mind but by His grace I'm learning.Bafana
