Campaign y blue mosaic (it's 2 in tha mornin)

I must say this has been a very interesting month. From the two weeks of fast track 4 hour a day classes at moody, to the past 3 weeks in New York cramming the gospel down peoples throats. I've gone from taking my faith and my "doctrinal knowledge" for granted  ; meaning I had little contextual foundation for my faith, to questioning wether my faith is truly even mine to begin with, to where I'd say I am now. That is, what I hope to be, a healthy balance between knowledge of how I have been influenced in my faith, how important factual or apologetic knowledge is, and how I best learn and grow in both. 

      Campaign has shifted from what it once was. It is no longer four sorties a day, and doing only broadsiding. It has transitioned into a much more engaging and encouraging attitude. Surprisingly (sarcasm) the reactions and impact this change has had on our community has been primarily positive and influential. We have done outreach in the backyards of Jewish families and elderly hat would normally scowl at our attempt at connecting. Now they thank us for gardening, or weeding , or digging 10 foot holes with a post hole digger and filling it with 30 foot wood beams (thanks dad for the know-how). We possibly do two or three outreaches a day and they resemble something more along the lines of Jesus' engagement rather than let's say the bullhorn guy. It is fascinating to be having a bible study in a coffee shop with our shirts on and see the response from Jess that are curious and bold enough to come up and ask us a question. 

We have been able to go out early in the mornings and give out free coffee to the New Yorkers! They have responded pretty positively! It's a good strategy :) 

Even simply asking people if they have a question has stirred up a different reaction then what we normally are used too. 

Of course j4j still has their sarcasm in new quippy ways they make sure people know how we really feel about their hater ways. 

       I think more than campaign blue mosaic has been an interesting challenge. Starting off I was blessed in not having any preconceived notion of what was to made of us. So when It came about that we had two early twenty  year olds and a 42 year old lady I was less worried than my blue mosaic counterparts. They had both entered into the team with very specific expectations of what our team would look like, how we would engage people, what age we'd all be, and wether or not we would have guidance. So naturally conflict arose. We are actually still in the midst of conflict and I am unsure of how blue mosaic will look at the end of it. I am confident God will use any outcome for His glory but please pray with me for David Brickner and Karol Joseph as they discern what the best options are. Sadly I don't feel I can confide on a public blog as to what is going on. But know your prayers are requested. 

      Oh and Becky is like 2 inches taller than me so.... We're good! 

We both confided that it was a huge relief when each of us saw how tall the other was, thinking that it always going to be very difficult otherwise. :) God is good. 

But Abby she's basically you. So of course we get along.
