Finding Els; Even in the Admin
DMM is not everything, everything is not DMM. God’s glory IS
everything, but not in everything does God get the glory.
If spiritual gifts were to be a periodic cattle call to be assigned,
I am pretty sure that I would not have raised my hand when the Lord was passing
out the spiritual gift of admin. Thankfully, as in accordance to how He plans
to use each of us, I have increased in my deep admiration of those who are
highly gifted in this area.
The recent Women2Women (W2W) DMM Training Level 1, held in ME region
of world, found me in that familiar territory of need to increase my abilities
in the area of admin. Gratefully, I saw how beautifully the Lord walked through
that one of many pieces of the process of what it is to lead these trainings.
The part I loved was the privilege of designing the week, facilitating lessons,
and helping others to coach/and/or facilitate lessons more effectively. The
coaching team was fantastic. The trainees were “all-in”. The implementation of
the DMM training is the key. The training bit is easy to walk through. It is in
the actual trust in the Lord to do what He promises in our respective UPGs in
the launch of cascading movements that will matter.
After the time of pre-training coaching meetings, I was to meet with
the tour company’s representative on site, Els. She was there to help with
the hotel logistics. We enjoyed a breakfast time together. Knowing that she is a ME Muslim, I had
asked the HS to move in her heart ahead of time. After three hours of sweet
time together, we had discussed the areas of “shame” and what Allah has planned
for those whom He created. We discussed the straight and true way which Allah
has given in Isa Al Masih. She was intrigued. We also did a shortened version of
the first prophet story from the Old Testament DBS/DG (Discovery Bible Study/Discovery Group) together, in oral format. I invited
her to meet with another friend of mine who could walk her and her husband and other family members through another
story. She indicated that she desired to talk more about Allah’s ways in Isa.
I have handed over her contact to a colleague from that city area.
Els is just one of those “admin” category necessary meetings which
need to reflect a desire to see the HS move, even in these potentially
“draining” handling of the details of what we are called to.
Els wants to be found. POPs want to be found. Lifestyle searching for POPs, empowered by the Holy Spirit is essential.
