Description of Ministry

In a variety of venues, Lu’s role is as one called alongside to listen, engage, inquire and challenge those places where life intersects the movement of God in the spiritual journey.  Spiritual formation is more than a toolbox of helpful disciplines – it is a cooperative dance that can (at times) seem confusing, but is mostly mysterious; unselfish, yet satisfying; it’s about a journey to a sure destination – until Christ is formed in you (Gal. 4:19).

Heartbeat

The transforming journey toward becoming “little Christs” (C.S. Lewis) is a process that was never meant to be done alone.  In relationship we meet the best and worst of ourselves...and it is here that God longs to reveal His fellowship, His love, and His power.  Each of us is a “glorious ruin” (Francis Schaeffer).  However awkward or incomplete it may look – I am committed to this journey in my own life...and I take great delight in encouraging others “on the way”.
