So day two in Singapore and God is really starting to show how clever he is - as if we didn't know!
Jonathan is very excited because we are meeting a guy from a major merchant bank - sort of Merrill Lynch but spelt in Singaporese! So we go up to the meeting room and an elderly, statesman like man joins us - after the customary coffee served by his secretary.
So in he walks - we do the proper thing with his and our businesses cards and sit down to talk about the movie. Do you mind waiting a few minutes he says, because I've invited a friend who may be interested in what you have to say. .
In walks another friend who has a huge passion and vision for the fathers in Singapore.
What a wonderful man with a huge passion to improve the family across his nation. Was a huge privilege to meet with such an humble but inspiring man.
There is something bubbling away here that God is positioning for the long term. We can boh feel it. There is a linking and partnering that goes beyond this movie project.
Then we went to the Full Gospel Mens chapter lunch in one of the city towers. Another great meeting and a group of men who really demonstrated the value of networking. After our presentation they are chatting and then start to phone others who may be interested and ask for information to forward on to others. One is heading off to London tomorrow but promises to let another colleague know the details for tomorrow mornings breakfast meeting. And he will. These people have integrity and a purity that is very attractive. Gives me something to aspire to for the MPC networking we do. If we can build the enthusiastic generosity and sharing and opening dors these guys have then MPC will be a formidable tool for the Kingdom!
Oh and the merchant banker - he goes and invites Jonathan to dinner at his home on Saturday night with all the leaders of the Full Gospel Business network for Singapore.
More doors, more opportunities, more possibilities......you seem to have a handle on this God so we will just follow your path of open doors until this thing gets done.
I'm a little sad that I have to come home early and miss this weekend. Jonathan is going to Trinity Church on Sunday (3000 people) and will meet several key business people and a man who runs a foundation investing in Christian projects. It would be great to be with him but at least I can leave knowing my work with Jonathan is complete - he can handle this on his own because I've taught him all I know. The jedi apprentice has surpassed the master (or in my case the gray haired guy!).
Seriously we having fun following Gods footsteps. It would be good if He would give us a cure for jetlag but in the meantime we continue to drink coffee and push on. With God all things are possible!
We can feel that God is doing something much greater than just releasing funding for the movie "Inheritance" and we don't need to worry. After all God seems to have a handle on what we need!
