Big World, Small World

This past Saturday I experienced a big world become small and make a large impact.

A church that is way far away (Hillsong Church, Sydney Australia) 15,551 miles away
launched a new location this past Sunday (New York City) 1,555 miles away

So after church Saturday night we went down the street to eat with some friends (Chili's) 2 miles away

At dinner we started talking about churches that we would like to visit. One of my answers was the new Hillsong campus in NYC.

And that is when it happened!

The guy that we were eating with took out his iPhone and started texting like a mad man. I didn't know what he was doing at the time. But with a huge grin on his face he looked up and said that his sister and his father were going to go to the launch of Hillsong NYC the next day.

Wow. Via the Internet. Across a few oceans. All in a few short minutes. Someone was informed, invited, and going to attend a church the next day. I still am having a hard time concepting the magnitude of what all was in place and the simplicity of the simple conversation over a burger and fries that made it happen.

God is good and His timing is perfect.
