This is a conversation I just had with a guy who was invited by a friend to come to our cell group, came twice, then came to church once...

Him: Hey
Me: Hey
Him: How's it going?
Me: I'm just hangin at home, watchin a movie
Him: Hey, what is this prayer thing about tomorrow?
Me: Well, our cell group prays at our building together Wed and Sun mornings
Him: What time?
Me: It starts at 7, but at 7:25 we join up and pray together
Him: Morning or night?
Me: Morning
Him: I have two problems
1, I dont know where the building is
2, I dont know how to pray

When he told me that those were his problems I got that feeling where you kind of laugh because of how cool God is sometimes. We have been praying for this guy for just 2 weeks and haven't even mentioned to him about Jesus or things about God. We were just trying to build relationship with him and the next thing you know he's hunting me down wanting to know more about God and prayer! I am blown away at God sometimes and once again knocked on my behind by the power of prayer.

This is the cover of our "Basics of the Faith" book that we take new Christians through. My brother in law Iosif designed it.

Over the past couple of months, one of my major tasks has been the collecting, writing, editing, formatting, designing and binding of our church's Sunday School curriculum so that the people can have in book form a sort of student guide for taking notes and following the outline.

It has been a whole lot of fun for me. I didn't know that I liked to do this but I have found that I really enjoy it. The curriculum starts with "Basics of the Faith" (7 weeks) and then goes into "Encounter with God" (6 weeks), then "School of Disciples" and "School of Leaders" (we are working on getting these down to about 6 months)
