Up to the Flagpole

Literally! We usually bring teams up to a place called, "El Museo Obispado," which means the Bishop's Museum. This place holds historic significance for the city of Monterrey and is where they have the largest Mexican flag in the whole city. It supposedly weighs 500 pounds and takes 200 soldiers to hoist it. It is up on a loma (small mountain) and provides a breathtaking view from a central point in the city of Monterrey.

On our team schedules, we usually indicate that we are taking them to, "The Flagpole." It's a good thing, because that's what we did today. We brought them to a Flagpole. They had the flag down today (probably for cleaning) and so, all that was there was the pole. The purpose in going there, however, is not to admire the enormous Mexican flag. It is to spend time interceding on behalf of the city and listening to God for what He wants the team to hear for the week. It's a pretty cool time.

This week, there were several things people sensed God speaking to them, and in my case, I sensed God saying, "There are many people on this team called to Missions and I am going to reveal/confirm that for them this week."
