71 Nations in 3 weeks
Hey guys, we were expecting a big push this month - but did not foresee enfolding people from 70+ NATIONS into the Grace Bomb movement in only the last 3 weeks!! We have never seen anything like this before and are so thankful to God and to all of you who had a hand in equipping these saints a reality. Some you helped us stuff cards sleeves and envelopes, some of you prayed all along the way, and others of you gave financially - if you did all three, congrats that's called a Grace Bomb Supporter Hatrick ;) All of you were needed and used mightily in what so far is unprecedented, but what could also become our new normal.
This global expansion is even more encouraging because of the care and follow up for all those joining. All who got involved also received a series of content that we created in partnership with YesHeIs - and have been invited into an online community on the Discord platform - with other community spaces in the works. Some attended a webinar last week, and now we will begin to have regular communication to fan the flame of this newborn global Grace Bomb community.
Check out the new folks we have mailed card kits to as represented on our maps below. The red dots represent week 1, the rest is weeks 2/3.
So...now what? Now we lift each new home up to the Lord, and we get their back in prayer. We have already heard stories of people already running out of cards and requesting more - while at the same time others are still looking to build up the nerve to faith-step into the unknown. You can also join the Discord community, or be a more vocal encourager to others on our social media platforms- sharing your experiences. Heck, this might even spur you on to drop that next Grace Bomb you've been holding out on! I'm sure it will be a blast!
If you happen to be in Maryland in June, I'll be preaching a Grace Bomb "Reloaded" series at Lighthouse Church in Glen Burnie. I'd love if you could come out! Specifically I'll be preaching there on June 9, 16, 23 & July 14.
We will also be working on mid-year giving statements and a state of union on Grace Bomb finances letter to be mailed and emailed the first week of June - so keep an eye out for that.
It takes a team to reach the world for Jesus - and I am thankful for each of you and the various ways you make this team rock for His Kingdom.
With Love, Pat & The GB Team
