Disciple Dots (Page 2)

During Easter 2014, we began to place dots on maps to represent places where the Spirit led us to be disciples. We continue this part of our Mission Vision and invite you to join in.

Place a red dot for your home address (home base of daily mission). Place multiple blue dots for other places that the Spirit sends you during the week to accomplish God’s mission with your actions, words, work, attitudes, witness, and the presence of the Risen Christ in you! Note that there are separate state/US maps and a globe for spots outside the Columbia area.

Has God worked a disciple moment through you or someone else during the week? Please fill in a Disciple Dot Form found in the menu above and share the story of God’s work. This isn’t about what “we” are doing, but about all that our amazing God is doing! Don’t hide under a basket the light of God’s ongoing work!

Cracker Barrel

While having lunch at Cracker Barrel the other day, I noticed three young men, approximately in their 20’s, occasionally looking over at me. When I had finished with my meal, I asked the server for my bill. She told me that someone had paid for it. The Spirit led me to walk over to the…

Prayers

The Holy Spirit led us to share a prayer request through the Living Springs Enews recently. This request was for the grandson and his family of one of our LS Disciples. This family has gone to Philadelphia to seek help for their unborn child that is having severe issues. Through the blessing of the internet,…

In the Zone

I travel a great deal throughout the country and run across homeless people in my peripheral. I intentionally do not zone them out, but rather focus on the zone I am in! I am on a mission to go where I need to go in the quickest mode I can to accomplish what I set…

Disciples Helping Disciples

Please give thanks to God for those that feel a Spirit Tug to help others by being a part of DHD. Disciples Helping Disciples used their time and talents the Holy Spirit gave them to work in another disciples yard. The mulch and edging make the front of the home appealing to the eyes. Thank…

God Blesses You!

The Spirit led my son to call his grandmother and do FAITH5 over the phone with her since he hadn’t seen her in a while.  It was a blessing all the way around to share highs and lows, read God’s word together, talk and pray.  My son and my mother talked about their day and how…

Career Day

I was at career day at Bethel-Hanberry Elementary sharing Jesus’ love with so many interested students!  And right there in the midst of it, the Spirit led some high school students to me and we sang “Sanctuary” in 4 part harmony!  “Lord lift our voices…”, and the Lord did it!!  What a blessed day!!

Pew Bear

An omnipresent God is everywhere, even in the pew bear that recently traveled to Birmingham Alabama. God put it on my heart to send the little brown bear to a Down syndrome young adult who was in the hospital, waiting for a decision from the doctor whether to operate or let the wound heal. The…

See You Sunday

I had a jewelry party recently. The Spirit guided a friend/coworker of the jewelry representative to come with. We started talking about church. She had visited Living Springs around 5 years ago and has family friends here. She said her and her husband talked about visiting our church. As the Spirit guided our conversation, I…

Just Saw Love

Driving in the car, with our son in the back, I hear “Mom, I just saw love back there.”  Perplexed a bit, I asked, “what kind of love did you see?”  Our son says, “In that window.  I saw love.  Did you see it?”  Sadly, I couldn’t see what he was seeing, but I wanted to…

Mapping of Ones Fears

The Spirit led me to read something very poignant.  When ancient sailors used to create maps of their travels, they would draw out what they feared. Maps would have labels that said things such as:  “Here be dragons”; “Here be demons”; “Here be sirens”. It was a common thing to see, the mapping of one’s fears.…
