Life at Oxford

Today we were in seminar and presented teaching modules on leadership. I presented on training leaders toward missional evangelism through the implementation of Matthew Parties. Bill Hybels highlights the idea of Matthew Parties in chapter 10 of his book "Just Walk Across the Room". This assignment was theory meets practice in applying teaching theory to practical ministry. Everyone did a wonderfully creative presentation.

The rest of the day was spent experiencing the Oxford community. I went shopping and got the girls some surprises and then went with some friends to walk the 150 acres of the grounds of Christ Church College. We found ourselves immersed in Britain as we strolled along the Thames, watched some rowing (crew), and watched a cricket match.

Thinking that we were strolling the lane that so many notables had in the past was incredible.

Tomorrow we are off to to London and Westminster and the Churchill museum.

Thought after reading Crazy Love today. We are saved by God's grace through faith and not by what we do. It is because of Christ that we are no longer in our former state and are able to do anything for God at all. Praise be to our Lord and Savior Jesus for giving us new life and calling us to be more like Him.
