Last night was the final and celebratory gathering of the simple church that I’ve led and been part of for the past 11 years. I was both surprised and blessed by the evening. Spending the evening with friends (some of whom I hadn’t seen in years) over good food while getting caught up with one another, reminiscing and playing more than a round or two of “where are they now,” was nourishment for the soul.
Frankly, I’ve been undone by the number of people who have contacted me as they have heard that we have closed the church that we came to call “Quest – A Christ-commons.” The letters, emails, phone calls, etc. from people who participated in our house church, followed us from afar or had friends who did life with us has been so encouraging.
For all who journeyed with our little faith-community thank-you again for the gift of your presence and for shaping who we’re becoming by your friendship. I pray God’s blessing on your life and community as you continue to embody the relational reign of God in your context.
Peace, dwight
I’d love to hear the stories around those 11 years and the lessons learnt. What would also be interesting for me is the direction for you personally as well as others who had been part of Quest’s story.
Bless you my friend, Malaysia still awaits you again:-)
