Last stop, KC

The family arrived home this week. I'm wrapping up with trips to San Diego and KC. Tomorrow I'll return from an amazing 7 weeks around the globe.

What a better way to wrap up than to visit IHOP, the International House of Prayer and attend the Call2All Congress here.

Call2All is a movement of ALL the top mission leaders in the world to FINISH THE GREAT COMMISSION. Jesus commanded us to go to ALL NATIONS on the earth and to share the good news.

We expect this call will be fulfilled by 2025! Every nation will have a bible in their own language and an opportunity to not only to hear about Jesus but to experience Him in their society.

Amazing stuff. Specifically I am learning about the role that business can play in this fulfillment. More and more I am learning that good, honest business is a HOLY THING. God needs not only religious missionaries to proclaim Jesus to the remaining unreached people groups of the earth. He needs people in government, business, education, media, etc. to provide experiences that treat people with the dignity taught to us by Jesus.

Often we take this blessing for granted in Western countries. This blessing is deserved by all people in all nations!

I am not talking about exporting our western culture or imposing it on people. I am talking about SHARING LOVE, ETHICS, RESPECT, etc.

Glory! It is happening!

Interesting fact:

Can u believe the bible was not available in English until the late 1300s!?!?

The bible was only translated in about 100 languages until 50 years ago. It has been translated into 2,000 more languages in just the last 30 years!!! Wow! God is moving!!!

Pics:
- Our friends John & Sabrina Willis joined me here. Great friends and we enjoy sharing our walk together.
- pictures in the prayer room. Honored to hear Mike Bickell, founder of IHOP & Loren Cumningham, founder YWAM pray for China from the pulpit of the prayer room!
- My good buddy Erik Fish that taught Jess and I to do simple church (like we do in our home on Sunday) during our DTS. He and I enjoyed the week traveling together and sharing. He continues to teach me sooo much. Plus we had the good fortune of our plane needing to spend an unplanned night in Vegas :-) good times even though the luck didn't stay with us at the BlackJack tables.
