thursday i was sitting in a coffee shop on newbury street talking with someone from church. in the middle of the conversation he paused and slyly nodded towards another table. "i think that guy is reading a christian book," he told me. i looked over, half expecting to see Blue Like Jazz or something by Rob Bell, but it turned out to be Responsible Stewardship of God's Creation by Ken Gnanakan. Ken is the founder of ACTS ministries in Bangalore, India, a ministry I visited a couple of years ago (amy has been there as well), and long time partner with SVCC. apparently, the fellow reading the book heard Ken speak at Gordon-Conwell and is fascinated by what he is doing in India. Ben, my new friend, and I are having coffee on tuesday. nice!
Whoa, that is a great small world story!
ReplyDeleteGREAT story! No one would be more pleased than Ken.

Oh DAD!! I'm here. I've just been busy with RA training and being a hooligan.
ReplyDeleteGold star for friendship.
And dad, I have a book for you. It will CHANGE you.
dad,
ReplyDeletei was thinking this whole time, "give the guy a break, it's OPENING"!!
rmac,
you think every book will change you.
steve,
sounds like an interesting book - is it about environmentalism or much bigger than that?
Too much whining! No excuses! Show me the book!!
