The Passion
I have seen The Passion of the Christ twice in the theatre so far. So of our team went to see it on opening day and our church rented out 3 nights of showings on Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
It is incredible. When we saw the screening in January it was amazing. But seeing it in a dark theater on a big screen is even more amazing. Watching Jesus' eyes is amazing. One of the most piogant scenes for me was when the flipped the cross over while Jesus was nailed to it.
We saw it on Thursday night with the theatre filled with members from our church and their guests. The guy who accepted Christ at our Alpha retreat was speechless afterward. The two guys I brought from our neighborhood were stunned. One said I can't believe He went through that much pain for me. One of our friends, another Alpha leader's sister came to Christ in the theatre after the movie!
Praise God for how He is using Mel Gibson and this movie across the country.
If you haven't seen it yet, see it this week. According to an email from The Passion of The Christ Fan Website [listadmin@passion-movie.net]; it helps if we go the first week of opening...
"To everyone in the US, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand -- if you plan to see this film, we strongly encourage you to see it this first week. The first week is the most crucial for a film's success, and because these four countries are showing it first, it also sends a trend of interest in the film worldwide. By seeing the film this weekend, you increase the chances that MORE theaters will carry the film in your own countries, but you also increase the chances that those in other countries will be able to see it. The film is being carried in over 2,800 theaters in the US, and some theaters are booked for showings two weeks into March! This is a great turn-out to this important film. Please consider seeing it with your friends and family. If you see it, and like it, please recommend it to your friends".
Did you see Ebert and Roeper's review? It is great! Check it out here.

Alpha Retreat
Yesterday we took about 30 people from our churches Alpha class on a retreat in the mountains above Los Angeles.
We played games, went on a hike, ate a lot, and had some Alpha sessions. The three lessons revolved around the Holy Spirit; who is He, what does He do, and how can one be filled with His power?
At the end during the silent prayer time, one of the guys in my group came up to me and asked for prayer. He told me he waned more of God in his life and wanted more certainty for he and his family's future. I asked him if he had ever prayed to give God complete control of his life, and he answered, "not really".
I prayed for him and then he prayed the "I'm Sorry, Thank You and Please" prayer (I'm sorry for my sins, thank you for dying on the cross, please come into my life).
After our prayer time he was beaming! Me and another Alpha leader in our small group invited Geno and his wife to our mini-church. I think and pray they'll come.
Strike up another for community!

Our new EFD evangelism numbers
Yesterday we finished our survey process of finding out all of what is happening with our church ministry partners that pick up food weekly through our Evangelistic Food Distribution program. Here are some of the highlights...
* Currently, 238 churches/ministries pick up food every week from our Lynwood warehouse/resource center. This has increased by 63 ministries since November of 2002.
* The estimated average number of individuals who receive food every month has increased from 360,325 to 401,030.
* We have seen an increase of almost 200% in congregants involved in evangelism (from an average of 9 people to 26 people from each participating church) in the last two years.
* On average, over 2100 people are estimated to have come to Christ each month, an increase of 300% since we commenced the training procedure (the growth has been from 700 conversions a month to 2142 per month, as each ministry averages nine positive salvation responses per month).
* On average, 86% of people are being followed up in some form or another, an increase of 36% since the training process was instituted. Most of these numbers are being assimilated into the respective churches.
* An estimated 57.5% of people receiving food are non-believers, up 3.5 % from last year.
We are especially pleased to see what God is doing through this program in light of the national USDA food shortage. Our USAD food allotment dropped over 75% since January 2003 (the USDA program represents about 90% of our food supply). Unfortunately, this resulted in recipients receiving less food per week then they were in 2002-2003. However, we praise God that more churches joined the program and entered the training process, thus increasing the overall spiritual impact in spite of the lesser food amounts.

Blogging as a discipleship tool for youth...
We're talking about doing a workshop on discipleship blogging for youth at the Urban Youth Workers Insitute at Azuza Pacific University on May 13-15 (by the way, you gotta go, it's amazing).
Has anyone had any experience with using blogging for discipleship in the past? If so, let's chat.
We are just beginning to see how to use this and how we could play it out.

Wholistic Discipleship Communities
Follow up to my Sunday post.
I would describe Wholistic Discipleship Communities as an intentional community where the existing body of Christ is operating in a way to come along side each other in all areas of life; work, play, parenting, schooling, in sickness or disaster, home life, social, spiritual and any other aspect of someone's life.
In the past Christian bodies such as this have been considered 'counter culture', like Jesus People USA or The Simple Way. These communities have lived an authentic Christian community lifestyle and have shown us the value and the biblical basis in which they operate.
But now, in the midst of the 'never slow down' culture (traffic reports every five minutes around the clock, emailing, on-line dating, done-in-a-minute and off to something else microwave mentality) we are literally seeing people dying for this type of real connection with people.
As a result, we have seen the increase and the effectiveness of the cell-group strategy from Willow Creek and Saddleback, now into almost every neighborhood church. A problem with these have been the modern evangelical 'spiritual segmentation' which allows for us to deal with our spiritual/Jesus stuff on Sundays and Thursday nights in a small group, but has little play throughout the rest of the week and therefore lacks a certain amount of Christian wholeness or authenticity in the rest of our lives.
In our small group, 'Mini-Church' as we call them, we have incredible ethnic, economic and age diversity. But in three short months we have a situation where anyone would stop anything to help or minister to each other. Last week the leaders, a couple in our Mini-Church was hit head-on by an older woman who evidently passed out. This couple immediately called another sister from Mini-Church, who was there within five minutes. She accompanied them to the hospital (amazingly they are completely fine, Praise God) praying and ministering to them. Another guy needed a job and I have an Aunt and Uncle who needed a quality, experienced manager for one of their hearing aid stores. Within a week, he had a good paying job, which afforded him the necessary time with his family. There is story after story like this from just our Mini-Church, one of 50 or so in our church.
In the inner city this community works best operating on an intentionally more wholistic level. I believe the suburban groups need to as well, but these communities can more easily hide felt-needs behind good paying jobs and the accumulation of material possessions.
Everyone in one of these communities whether it be a cell group, Sunday school class, support group, or group of neighbors must have a role to play. Everyone needs to have ownership to fully belong. This exemplifies the body of Christ in that we all need each other.
My Lessons
Now, let me be honest about my initial thoughts in entering this community. I was very hesitant, to say the least. I felt I didn't need any new friends. I couldn't ever return the calls I got before joining this group. But now I have lunch with several of the group each month, we meet at least bi-weekly and we talk on the phone, email each other, etc. I did not see the spiritual nurturing, encouragement, or joy that I would get out of this close knit group. I have learned much more than I have given, and the funny thing is that everyone feels that way!
I have met a new hero, a single mom raising five kids and they don't even have a permanent place to live right now! She is doing an amazing job that I couldn't even try to do. And the father of her children just joined us last Sunday night for his first time. He said, "All I have heard about you guys is that you're a big family".
This illustrates the principle that if Christians live like they're suppose to, it will be an attractive situation to the world. We don't have to go out and beat them over the head about Christ, they are drawn to Him through this authentic communities interactions and love for each other. They will know us by our love…

Community
I have been thinking alot about community for the past few weeks. Too much to write here, but it has been shaping my thinking on overall methodology in ministry.
Alot has gone into this shaping for me. That would include, the book, "Stories of Emergence", especially chapter seven by James F. Engel, visiting new church works in LA such as Kairos and NewSong LA. Also seeing the difference of sustained spiritual results between our old church of 10 years and our new church. Comparing and contrasting has certainly been interesting, challenging and sad.
I'm beginning to see the difference in what I would describe as Wholistic Discipleship Communities. We never really had that, at least to the necessary degree in my old church. But that is what I see other places that are seeing incredible transformations in individuals and communities.
More on this later.

Good Article on Blogging for Christians
Gospelcom.net has a good blogging article online now.
They say "Once you have a blog, and added the obligatory "First Post" message to it, what do you do? Well, it's really up to you. Some folks keep a blog to post about politics, news, and anything else that comes to mind. But blogs can be about technology, the Bible, and can even aggregate content from other blogs. Maybe your church could use a blog to maintain a prayer list, or to give your missionaries a place to record their day-to-day experiences. Maybe your ministry could use a blog to let your Web vistors know about upcoming events. There are quite a few ways to make use of a weblog."
The Rest of the Article
I believe that blogging can be a great discipleship tool for youth. I getting one of our youth online now.
Tim Bednar at e-church really plays this out by sharing,
"Blogging (like journaling) can be a spiritual discipline for several reasons:
:: Blogging can be a frequent, intentional habit that aids in spiritual formation.
:: Blogging interrelates with the corollary discipline of spiritual reading.
:: Blogging can be used to practice the presence of God.
:: Blogging is practiced in community.
Dallas Willard writes of spiritual disciplines, "...they are much more effective if they can be practiced in community, and you can't really practice them without community. If you have a community where they are understood as a normal part of our lives, there can be instruction or teaching about them, which brings about a kind of accountability."
I found that journaling and blogging possessed several things in common:
:: Blogs and journals are at their best when they are written frequently.
:: Blogs and journal flow best when the author resists the urge to edit or censor.
:: Blogs and journals provide a unique history of one's inner life and faith-journey.
But I have also found them to be different and distinct:
:: Blogs are public. A private journal is usually never published.
:: Blogs seek to interact with an audience by soliciting comments and feedback. Journals are isolated from external input and separate from community.
:: Blogs can sometimes be more self-focused than God-focused. (Blogging as a spiritual discipline also does not require that every word be about God. In fact, writing only in spiritual tones misses blogging's potential. However, blogging ought not become narcissistic if it is to be useful for spiritual formation.)"
Thanks Tim! Here's the rest of his article.
I think that blogging can not only help the young person in processing and journaling in there walk with God, but also be an online example/role model for other teens (establishing community) as well as be a window into what youth in the inner city (or where ever else they may be from) are going through for youth leaders, parents, donors, etc.
We will continue to try to play this out and see what happens!
I'll keep you posted.

I made it
I rushed home from Orlando yesterday just in time to hear the sermon at our church. It was on Point #5 of our churches “PEACE Plan” for addressing the giants of our city.
1. Planting Churches
2. Equipping Leaders to Serve
3. Assist the Poor
4. Care for the Sick
5. Educate the next Generation
6. Embrace Africa
Yes, there are two ‘E’s. The sermon was on the churches efforts in S.A.Y. Yes! Youth Development Center, the Jr. and Sr. High School ministries and the newest endeavor, the PEP Program. PEP (Paramount Educational Project) is a multi-faceted plan to bring mentoring, computer training, etc. to youth and adults of the community. High school graduates will complete a number of criteria and receive a four-year scholarship to college! One of the most amazing things about this is that the City of Paramount initiated with the church to do this!
The sermon was one of the best I even heard on the biblical mandate to focus on youth. It’s great to have a church that I’m anxious to get across the country for!

Orlando, FL
Heading to Orlando in less than six hours.
We have our annual Here's Life Leadership Conference. This is where City Directors, the National Team and some support staff all get together. Should be about 40 or so people there.
Among other things, we will be focusing on "understanding the Framework of the Culture of Poverty'.
Gotta get some sleep.

Some days you can't stop praying
Today our team prayed about a friend most of us know very well. She is paranoid schizophrenic and now suicidal. She is a believer but she has shut everyone out including us. Her family are not believers but they are really praying now.
We learned today for the first time that…
Another mutual friend and ministry leader who has served with us here on a summer project is now questioning his faith.
A pastor of one of our ministry partner churches has a young adult daughter who is about to be sentenced for killing a lady while driving under the influence. She has not been walking with God for awhile.
One of our staff women is a cancer survivor. Her adult daughter just had some questionable images show up in a mammogram.
A church that we are close with just had a leader admit to an affair with another congregation member.
Another staff couple is transitioning off our team to focus completely in their church plant. It is a Hispanic church within an African-American church. Today they asked prayer for some serious spiritual warfare they have felt since they made the decision to move to the church full-time.
Some days you can't do much more than pray.

"Lets Blitz 'Em"
I just had a conversation with a full-time Christian leader (parachurch) who has a heart to reach the inner city. He has had some experience with urban youth and describes himself as a visionary. We have had an ongoing discussion about what parachurch ministries, like mine can do in the inner city. He has done some good things bring suburban and inner city pastors together. Our dialogue has been meaningful and he has some good ideas.
But one thing really bothers me.
He (and many, many other Christian leaders of the same generation and ethnicity) have the same impression... that we can just bombard the inner city with the Gospel and everything will work out. They think that they can just rush in, establish their agenda and be successful. He even used the war analogy. "We're battling the enemy", he ranted.
I tried to tactfully and respectfully explain how his dominant cultural background influences his perspective and how that perspective translates to the people of the inner city. If we're at war who is the enemy? Why is it that we always have to conquer something? What are we actually trying to conquer? To plant the flag of white republican values in the lost, liberal deserts of urban despair?
Is it so hard to see how inner city residents view that?
I think people think this is the easiest way to save the inner city. We don't have to relate, seek to understand, just get them to act like me and everything will be fine.
Often, I see and hear the frustration and anger of good intentioned ministries blowing in and blowing out of the inner city. They got their good story, newsletters, TV spots, etc. But then these urban communities are left with blown expectations and frustration that no one recognizes and helps with their own visions. The visions that are rooted in lifetimes of living in and understanding the culture.
There are some well known ministries here in LA now that other ministries don't really like. They don't really talk about it much, but you can tell.
My belief and the value of our ministry is to relocate into the city, learn, seek out relationships, love, be humble ask a lot of questions. We then look for the Christians that are standing in the gap, making a difference with little or nothing. Those are the heroes we can come behind and support, encourage and resource. We show God's love by feeding, educating, clothing, training, mentoring, and loving. This is where the example of true biblical unity will shine throughout the neighborhoods. This is how entire neighborhoods will change.
Let's bring the peace and hope of Jesus into the neighborhoods, not fire Gospel tract buckshot as we run through the city and then back to our safe enclaves.
