One of the key aspects of Generation LINK is the emphasis on building a gospel community, and one of the ways that this is done is through the G-LINK staff members living together.
When considering how to describe the ‘organized chaos’ that is the GLINK guys’ house, I had difficulty deciding where to begin, so I’ll start with the fun, social stuff. There are the bonfires with friends down by the train tracks, the afternoons reading and napping on our 21-foot long couch, playing video games and watching “Band of Brothers,” and even late-night water balloon wars with our landlord! A few others that come to mind are wrestling matches, a saxophone that functions as a morning alarm, late-night renditions of “Grease,” and many more.
From a different perspective, God has gifted each of us in unique ways, and each is able to put his gifts to use in different ways in ministry. It is clearly evident in just looking at the six of us (who represent but a small fraction of the family at Crosspoint) that the church is a body of many parts, none greater or lesser than another and all needed for the church to work properly. Just as we are gifted differently, we also have different struggles, and so we are able to challenge and pray with one another to see victory over sin through accountability. I am constantly reminded in my time living with the other guys that however different we may be, we are all united through the blood of Christ and are brothers laboring side by side to see the gospel reach the nations. It is such a blessing to do life together with them!
Iron sharpens iron, and one man sharpens another. Proverbs 27:17
