We opened the month of September, after taking a break for Summer, with our 242 Gathering in the Cerulean Blue Coffee House in Flower Mound, Texas. 

The 242 Gathering (Acts 2:42) is a gathering over great coffee, conversation, and unmatched community. We share life, scripture, and prayer together each week. This is one of my favorite expressions of the body of Christ. This is definitely a "come as you are" get together--all are welcomed. It's a place where God is meeting spiritual, physical, and emotional needs of all who gather. 

If you are in the area on Sunday nights, come join us. We start gathering around 5:30p and get started at 6p. It is super casual, if you can't make it the whole time, you can leave whenever you need to go. 

Collective Way was privileged to train 223 leaders in Ukraine and Moldova, September 8-15. We spent three days in Ukraine training in three different cities. We had to drive in an out of Ukraine each day from Moldova because it is unsafe to spend the night in the Ukrainian cities. Although, we seldom hear war updates in the United States, these Ukrainian cities are being bombed every day, sometimes multiple times a day. 

As we drove the streets of the cities we visited, we noticed a stark contrast from our teaching trip we took in the Spring of this year...there are no men on the streets! Ukraine is becoming a country of women as the men are literally being snatched from the streets and sent to fight. The young leaders pictured below, in the "Day 2 of Leadership Training in Ukraine," demonstrates how our trainings are evolving due to the fact that any man over the age of twenty and under the age of sixty are being taken off to war. It was amazing to see so many young leaders investing in their personal development. 

Even though these leaders deal with the reality of the Russian invasion, they are HUNGRY to grow in their leadership abilities and in their relationship with God and others who are fighting the good fight. They see this time in their country's history as an opportunity to serve others and to give their lives away for the sake of the Gospel. You can celebrate with us in knowing that people of God in Ukraine are letting their light shine so that others will see their good deeds and glory the Father in Heaven.
