Can You Launch A Movement In 60 Minutes?

Joe Cross did. In Mexico City. Read his blog. This excites me. I think of Paul and Silas, Titus on Crete, and 11 confused disciples on top of a hill staring into the sky and wondering if Jesus was really serious about going to all the world. All these people planted and nurtured ministries that grew into movements. As an organization we are in dire need of giving the ministry back to students. Do you have any recent examples of helping grow student-led movements anywhere? We’d love to hear your story.

And happy Easter. He is risen!

Ken, I am amazed at how many stint leaders have shared about students taking the reigns of ministry in Russia, EA, Kazkhstan, Venezuela, etc. (Though rarely as fast as what’s happening in Mexico City – which I saw first hand last month.) One story is about a gal named Masha in Moscow which I highlighted this week on http://www.stintleaders.blogspot.com
