Tonight, almost all of us hung out together at the Guest Center and had a potluck dinner. I had a tremendous conversation with one of the pastors about church growth and church planting.
Most of the time, we start classes at 8:15 a.m. with half an hour of worship. The morning session goes until 12:15, and after an hour lunch break, we have class until about 4:30 or 5:00. In the first week, everyone gave a presentation at some point in time about their spiritual journey, current ministry context, and hope for growth from the MAGL program. In addition to that, we heard several short lectures. This week, there's a continuous lecture (mostly - there are some group exercises etc.) on God's story of missions, which is an ongoing thread throughout the Scriptures. You cannot find five chapters in any book of the Bible in which you will not run into some reference of God's desire to be known and worshipped by the world.
After class, we sometimes go to the Fuller Bookstore, or just hang out at the guest center. We've also gone into town for something to eat (one restaurant has a $1.95 cheeseburger meal during Happy Hour!).
