I have been really struck this week, how if we just get on with what we are meant be doing, God brings the right people across our path. On Thursday I was with a group of offenders working up at a camp. Interestingly enough this camp has been established by a 74 year old man who cheerfully announces (including in the Newspaper!) that he is a Christian who does not go to church. So here are the two of us with a pretty similar point of view 'coincidently' working three days a week in proximity together.
On Friday This same man mentioned to me that Wyn Fountain was coming to check out the camp at lunch time. Well how strange! I by 'coincidence' receive Wyn's email newsletters (salt shaker) as he is a real Christian radical who has walked the walk as well has talked the talk, and has really grasped the bondage of what 'doing church' is. So I had the privilege of meeting him and talking with him that day (while working of course!)
Then on Sunday we drove down to the Clevedon A & P show. Funnily enough I bumped into someone I had never met but who had emailed me a year or so ago about House Church. We had a great chat and were an encouragement to one another.
So all in all it was a great week of networking and bumping into Organic Christians making a difference in the world and none of it planned and most of it done on tax payer money. Who needs a Pastors salary?
