Will the Luke 10 approach that Jesus gave to his disciples work in our modern day? A few people who believe that it will are going to put their faith to the test next year (as early as January). We're calling it the Extreme Team.

In Luke 10, (see yesterday's post), Jesus sent his disciples out to visit the surrounding villages to bring hope. He didn't let them take anything more than the clothes on their back.

It was an incredible spiritual high-wire act. Given their experience to that point, you'd expect them to flounder and fail. You'd expect them to return bedraggled and confused.

In fact, quite the opposite happens. They experience spiritual fireworks - exciting ministry success. They actually start to do the sort of thing that Jesus did. When they return to tell Jesus about it, a celebration ensues. Their faith soars.

The question is, "Does this stuff still work?" I'd like to see us give it a roll. I'm asking a small group of you to go out in the same way that Jesus sent out his disciples in Luke 10. This isn't a program and there aren't any funds to raise. We'll do what Jesus said to do, following his guidance at each step.

A few of the places we may go: The Sudan, Pakistan, and Cambodia. I've been praying about this for years. Our World Racers get to practice it some, but this is another level. A number of you have expressed an interest. Feel free to get in touch using the comment section or here and I'll send you information.
