007

James Bond was our enemy at the cinema on Sunday morning!

At the last minute, cinema management decided to schedule a corporate screening of the new James Bond film in Cinema 5, which is the cinema that we normally use for our pre-school and children's ministry on Sunday mornings. So we had to scramble big-time. All of our set-up and pre-school and children's ministry leaders and volunteers had to hustle to move everything at break-neck speed from Cinema 5 to Cinema 7.

Or maybe I should say from Cinema 005 to Cinema 007.

It was a pain and a hassle - it's not like Sunday mornings before the services aren't busy enough! - but in the end our troops pulled it off in fine fashion, and all the FRC-Lima kids had a great time.

Flexibility is the key, my friends.

International ministry is going to keep you hopping, and if your neck of the international woods is anything like Peru, then that's also going to mean a lot of last minute switcheroos and late-breaking curveballs.

Don't bail out of the batter's box. Stay focused on your goal and vision. Smack down all of the distractions and last-minute problems that the enemy is going to throw at you.

Even when they involve James Bond!
