So I have to ask, am I alone in my frustration?
I have recently started a “Moving Toward Mission” series at theSalem House of Prayer
The amazing thing is that there are tons of college kids in the area that are serious about making a difference in the Salem, Oregon area.
The frustration is the response that I am getting from the “religious community”. I have received numerous complaints from local churches in the area. The complaint is that we are gathering a large group of college students on a Saturday night which is apparently appearing disruptive to the local churches efforts in trying to create effective college ministries.
Am I wrong in being bothered by this? There isn’t an offering being taken and we are encouraging these kids to integrate into their local bodies and be an influence of movement. Am I wrong in thinking that being on mission is more important than who is leading the charge where the people are gathering? I haven’t had complaints about doctrine or style, but, territory…
I would love your thoughts.
