Solid Rock - Climbers Reaching Climbers for Christ
Two-Minute Message - #42 (
From Calvin Landrus,
National Director
TOPICS:
Solid Rock Mini-Outreach Day and
National Meeting at Joshua Tree
-----------------------------------------------
This
week, I received this email request:
“Do you know any brothers that would be interested in climbing at Joshua Tree on Saturday (Dec.1)? My buddy and I are heading down there, but neither of us know the area well, and we would love to have some fellowship with other climbers.”
I
would like to use this as way to continue our thinking about the purpose of
Solid Rock. If all I did was to forward
the request out to the email group, would I have been adding to the purpose of
Solid Rock? Remember we exist to Encourage, Equip and Empower climbers to
reach climbers for Christ.
What did I do? I contacted
the author and asked him if he was willing to make it a “Solid Rock
Mini-Outreach Day.” What did I mean by
this? Before you get out of the car to
climb, ask the Lord in a time of prayer to orchestrate your day.
Pray something like this, “Lord,
if it’s Your desire that we give witness of You today,
please allow us be open to those divinely appointed opportunities that could
happen. Help us to have the boldness and
sensitivity as we are “on mission” for You.”
When this is prayed, all
you are really doing is asking that the Great Commission, stated by Jesus in
Matthew 28, happens. It says, “Go and
make disciples.” Often we think that
only means for those missionaries who have gone to a foreign land. But I understand that the word “Go”
has the meaning of “as you are going.”
For us as Solid Rockers that is saying, “As you go climbing, look for
ways to give witness to Jesus our Lord.”
The beauty of this is that
it won’t take anymore time, but will give you and I a higher purpose for going
climbing!
Well the author agreed to make it Solid Rock
Mini-Outreach Day. And although the time
is really too short, contact Mike Haddad at Mike.Haddad@Ronblue.com
and not only go climbing this weekend but be
“on mission” for the Lord at Joshua Tree.
