Last day of T4G…

Had to post one last time, to tell about the last day of the conference. Mindblowing…

The night before (Wednesday) I lay awake in bed, unable to sleep. I was filled with doubt, uncertainty about the choice I had made about selling all of our stuff, and going into full time ministry. As some are aware, some early financial setbacks have hit me and my wife, due our home buyers problem in getting financed.

Anyway, I must have prayed for at least two hours before falling asleep, pleading with the Lord to assure me I was doing the right thing.

He sent an answer, via his messenger, John Piper. Piper seemed to stare at me as he preached his message, speaking of the importance of “Radical Christian Sacrifice”, of “giving up everything and hitting the road”. His face almost glowed (no, I am not exaggerating) with the Spirit, full of contagious passion.

John Piper is a powerful (and humble!) man of God. I cannot believe I have not listened to him before this.

C.J. Mahaney finished up with a well spoken message, filled with a refreshing lightness and humor, which was a good close for the conference.

In all, for my 99 dollar entry fee, I received approximately 270 dollars worth of free books, and a changed life. Thank you so much, T4G! I have never felt the Spirit so powerfully.
