In Acts 15:36, we examine relational conflict between Paul and Barnabas involving John Mark. A temporary split occurs and Paul takes on a new apostolic team. During their travels, the Holy Spirit closes doors and redirects them to a whole new world, Europe. In Philippi, they meet Lydia, the Holy Spirit's pick for introducing the Gospel to Europe.Such people assist us in breaking open neighborhoods and cultures. It all begins in prayer.
Today, many people do not survive relational conflicts and drop away from attending church at all. We are called to mend and heal the wounds of those in exile. This might involve leaving the 99 and searching for the lost sheep.
