Adelaide

God is working in Adelaide. Praise the Lord...
Today i met a guy who lives in Adelaide, and he runs a house church, his place is open for people to come in between something like 8am and 10pm. He regularly has people sleeping on his floor, shares his food with people that are around when it is a meal time. And 2 or 3 times a day he will read his bible with who ever is around and then talk with them about what was read....
I also met some other people today that have a heart for people, to see them saved... and a focus on people who are poor, homeless, or have addictions...
And none of these people are Salvos.... God has raised them up to be doing what they are doing...
They are one part of the Church in Adelaide, and we at Gen1 are another part... These people were excited to hear about Gen1 and what we are doing, just as i was excited to hear what they are doing....
I truely believe that God is bringing us together.... all with common goals.
So i pray that God will continue to unite us with the different people/groups that are doing things around Adelaide already, and may we work along side them, encouraging and helping them, and reaching out ourselves....
Cause the calling of God is to preach the Good News to everyone, William Booth said for us to Save the world for Christ.... Neither of these things says to grow the Salvation Army, like we are the only place people can meet God.... How ever it would be cool for the Salvation Army to grow like that.... However if people are getting saved and are growing in their relationship with Christ, in Sanctification, who cares whether they come to Gen1, to West Care, St Lukes, Sturt St, or some another house church.... It is all for the Glory of God.... and God is in all these places... We should Praise God, when other groups see people saved, and not be jealous, or think it is unfair, cause we did a lot of work with that person... Cause we are told that one person will sow and another will reap.... So when we hear reports of people coming to know God, lets join in Praise and when we hear of people growing in their relationship with Christ, lets join in praising the Lord... Cause He alone is worthy of praise.
So bring on the unity, that we would all work together to obey Christ in His command of the Great Commission.
