The Beginning of Call2All DTS
Call2All DTS began today with the arrival of our students! It’s late, and though I have a lot to say I just thought I’d post an email I blasted out to our staff just a few minutes ago! Pray for Jenni and I as we step into this wild adventure together! More updates soon, and that long-awaited website switch! Blessings.
“Today was an amazing day. We welcomed a rad married couple, two kids, eighteen single dudes, and twelve single girls into Call2All DTS, ushering them in to a radical new season of life in Christ Jesus. And we get to walk with them in it.
It was an interesting feeling today, welcoming all these people who we’ve talked to and prayed for over the last few months. Some of them have come with the fire of Jesus burning in their eyes and a passion in their hearts that spills over into even the first conversations I had with them. Others have come hoping for healing, calling, direction. Still others have come with nothing more than expectation to meet with God. Others don’t even know what they’re stepping into in fullness, only that Jesus sounds good and they want to meet him. The Father wants to know them all. Jesus has made a way. The Holy Spirit will empower them. We are all going to fall in love with him, some for the first time, some for the 50th or 500th, but all of us will be drawn deeper into his heart.
I was pondering this today when the realization began to dawn on me all over again that one day we’re actually going to see Jesus face to face. Actually really. Face to face. He’ll be riding a white horse. His name is Faithful and True. And these students will be standing there with us. Face to face. The worship and adoration will be endless because the elation and affection will be (insert superlative here). If you take a minute to just stop and think about it, it’s life-transforming. Seriously though, what a crazy thought.
It makes me want to run well. It makes me want to simply bring them to this Man. Introduce them to my Lover, Savior, Friend. It makes me want to weep and laugh, all at once. This is what we were created for, and this is what they were created for – worshipping the Man, Jesus.
So, let’s be bold, and let’s do it. The Kingdom of Heaven is forcefully advancing!”
