what the heck is G42?!" I asked the same thing. From what I've learned so far, it's an academy for Christians who have been called to establish the Kingdom of God around the world. There are currently 6 American students and another small group of international students from various countries including Spain and Nigeria in the school. The students go through 6 months of apostolic teaching, coupled with practical ministry insights and mentoring by some incredible men of God. The course includes topics such as: Character & Discipline, Covenant & Community, Tabernacle of David, Media, Management & Leadership, Church Planting, Pastoral Care & Equipping, and Practicum Ministries. The goal is to equip men and women to plant churches, build ministries, and be effective business leaders. 

I've been able to sit in on their classes and have enjoyed soaking in some incredible stuff.  We've also had some great quality time visiting about what God is doing in our lives, worshipping and praying together, sharing meals, playing games, and exploring the pueblo of Mijas.  My time here has been most refreshing. I've been experiencing glimpses of the Kingdom here!  I really had no idea what to expect of this time, but my heart is encouraged. Encouraged by what I see God doing in the lives here, encouraged by what God is doing in my own heart, and expectant of more to come! God is so faithful and meets our needs even when we don't know what to ask for. 

I fly back to London tomorrow afternoon...will spend the night in the airport then fly out early Friday morning to Kiev, Ukraine. In Kiev we'll meet up with one of the World Race teams and their coaches. They'll be taking part in their final debrief as their 11 month trip is coming to an end. I know several of these participants and I can't wait to see all that God has done this past year.

So I'm off for now. Thanks for your prayers and encouragement! Love you guys!
