Rodeo: So what's next?

I previously documented the genesis of the rodeo idea. It hit me recently that in our wish to see our ministries (church, daycare and school specifically) become more cohesive, the rodeo idea was first suggested by one of the Lititz Christian teachers who doesn't even attend Grace on a regular basis. I think it's cool how God worked through that one person's suggestion, close to probably three years ago, to impact as many people as He did.

Of course, the buzz ever since the event got underway has been, "Are you going to do a rodeo next year?" Such sentiments are an affirmation that we succeeded in producing an event with quality. I'm not sure if Lititz had ever had a rodeo or when the last one was. That's probably one of the reasons why so many people checked it out. Whether we do a rodeo next year, I don't know. But I know we will pursue, like an American's Cup sailor seeking the next wind shift, where God is working, how we can join Him in what He is doing all to make it as hard as possible for people to go to hell.

For now, we gave the farmer permission to plant another crop of oats on the field which should be harvested in November. Whether another crop goes in after that will be a season by season decision based on where we are in the ministry planning cycles. The whole farming angle of all of this is almost like a life-sized version of PIT. I'll explain in the next episode of the Rodeo Miniseries on Administering Grace.

Some three years ago, a teacher suggested we do a rodeo. Where do YOU see God working? Has God put a rodeo-like idea on your mind?
