I presented the following 9-minute message to supporting churches this past summer, as a taste and expression of the heart of the spiritual formation ministry to which we are called in Imago Christi.
For the last 21 years we have been serving in Saint Petersburg, Russia with Church Resource Ministries (CRM), resourcing church leaders mainly through Bible college teaching and personal mentoring of ministry leaders. In the mean time the Lord has been focusing my calling on the area of spiritual formation, both personally and through my teaching and mentoring.
Eleven years ago I co-founded and now co-lead the "spiritual formation initiative" within CRM, called Imago Christi. We are a specialized ministry team in the area of spiritual formation that embodies the disciplines of personal communion with Christ, spiritual community, and transformational ministry, which we are called to foster among Christian leaders worldwide.
In this passage, Jesus shows how our Commission is grounded in our love for Christ, and how a deepening love for Christ opens up new aspects of our Commission to minister in His Name and in His Love!
