I heard Eric from Christian Associates International talk about the Mosaic Church in Scotland. Their objective is planting churches in the post-Christian world. Eric described the church in Scotland as one that has ways to involve Christians in the community. Some of their events such as city clean up and helping the homeless even have non-Christians helping out. What I found interesting is that the church has tables for meeting. They gather for several hours and also eat together. They have formed a community. Also the number of immigrants and refugees opens many doors. Now there is quite a move of the Spirit in Iran. Many Iranians believers in Christ are fleeing to other countries. Eric talked about one family taking in an Iranian for a weekend. The family ended up having this person for one year; this experience transformed the Iranian believer.
What I am seeing for our house is an opportunity to disciple men from other countries. How this will happen, who will come, what this will look like is still to be determined. We will take in three individuals and eventually become a little church. That sense of community in which others can watch Sveta and I live out our lives according to the Spirit of God will be powerful.
