Postscript: “We’re All In This Together”
November 5, 2009
Last night, about 12 brothers & sisters from NHF attended the one-night-only movie event hosted by Hillsong United, “We’re All In This Together.” The documentary was preceded by 30 minutes of interviews with and performances of new songs by Hillsong United. The North-American screening of this film, chronicling Hillsong United’s observations from their recent world tour, was also the official launch of The I-Heart Revolution, a movement to look outside ourselves and to the needs of others, so that local initiatives can be transformed into a collaborative global impact.
We were mightily humbled, moved, wounded, inspired and blessed by “We’re All In This Together.” We are both eager to listen for God’s continuing guidance, and ready to move in obedience to battle poverty & injustice both near and abroad, for His Name and unto His glory. Some key quotes and links can be found after the jump …

New Hope 4 Justice Kicks Off!
October 15, 2009
Question(s) of the bi-week: in Scripture, God clearly inclines Himself toward orphans, widows, aliens and the poor. But these are not just ‘the other folks’; God is also talking about us. Where do you see proof of this in His Word? How does this change how you view ‘the other folks’? How does this change how you view yourself?
*****
What a great evening spent with Kim (Dr. Ferguson, if you’re nasty!), brainstorming & talking into formation the New Hope 4 Justice reading group! Through our readings, discussions and prayer times, we hope to:
- (1) gain a deeper understanding of “justice” as God sees it,
- (2) align our hearts more closely with His so that we may mirror His image more accurately in our individual & corporate lives, and
- (3) provide a stronger foundation of support & prayer for NHF’s individual & corporate activities.
