Sprachspielen: 6fis – interests

For our May instalment of Sprachspielen, we’ll be continuing to look at our “Six-fold Incarnational Strategy,” or 6fis for short. This month we’ll be looking at the fourth element of the 6fis. Before I jump in with this month’s topic, I did want to remind you that if you’re new to this series of articles on the 6fis, I advise you to go back to the first part of the first instalment, which gives a pretty thorough introduction to the basic premise behind our 6fis. You can find it in February’s Sprachspielen.

Director’s Update — May 2021

Χριστὸς ἀνέστη! – Христос воскресе! – Hristos a înviat! – Christ is Risen!!!

Greetings once again! As I mentioned to you last month, we’re continuing in the spirit of Resurrection, joining in the paschal greeting with our Christian brothers and sisters, using the Eastern Christian Calendar (Easter is on 2 May for them). But in truth, we probably should be celebrating the Resurrection of Jesus every day, shouldn’t we? I pray that the power of His resurrection is at work in you even now, as you read this newsletter. Thank you for taking a few minutes to learn more about what God is doing in and through us in the ministry of Linguæ Christi here in Europe.

Shema

I’m not sure how common it is to pick a word for the year, but it’s something that I’ve started doing in recent years. Last year my word was “trust,” and considering the circumstances of 2020 I would say this word was fitting. So, with the anticipation of the new year, I began praying through what my word would be, and I landed on the Hebrew word, shema.

Sprachspielen: 6fis – ministry of hanging out

As I have done for the past couple of months, in April’s instalment of Sprachspielen, I’ll be moving on to the third component of our Six-Fold Incarnational Strategy (6fis), which is at the centre of all of our efforts and plans, related especially to local ministry and personal interactions for the sake of the Gospel. Like I mentioned last month, if you need a reminder or you’re just now joining this series of articles, I encourage you to go back to February’s Sprachspielen, where I spent a good bit of time explaining in general what is the 6fis, and why it is so important to our ministry. I’ll be writing the rest of this month’s instalment under the assumption that you have read that previous introduction to this series.
