As we continue to come closer to the date we move to Toronto, God gives us unique experiences that become a training ground. When we arrive in Toronto, we will be renting a facility that will need to be set up and taken down each week. To add to that, we will have to find a place for our baptism services. It is incredible to think through all the things we will need to do.
We had an opportunity to see this first hand this past weekend . Our home church, Fair Oaks, had a small contained fire in the baptismal pool that forced us to set up services in another facility. Fortunately, our campus includes a Rec Center we were able to move into, but since it's primary use is as a gym, there was a lot to do. We had to think through seating, media, children ministry and a baptism. We kicked into high gear and got it all accomplished so we could conduct a full weekend of ministry in limited space and set up. Plus, we had a baptism in my pool. What a great opportunity to see a "mobile church set up" the way we would want to do that in Toronto.
Thank God for this challenge and training we received this past weekend!
