 Who
are the Peregrinnatti?
Steve and
Shirley Rees are following in the footsteps of the
Peregrinnatti missionary Celts of ancient times who
set out in small leather boats upon the sea. With no
rudder or sails, the currents and wind would take
them along at the Spirit's will. Upon reaching
landfall, they would tell the Gospel stories to
whomever would listen.
And so we
follow our ancient brothers. Why? Because faith
comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of YHWH/God.
Faith is the substance of things hoped for and the
evidence of things not seen. It is substance and it
is evidence.
When YHWH
brought the Children of Israel across the Jordan
River into the Promised Land, He told them to have
one person from each tribe gather a stone from the
river bed and bring it across to the other side and
build an alter of remembrance.
He told them
that in generations to come, when their children
would ask what these stones meant, they were to tell
them the story of how YHWH had brought them out of
Egypt, through the wilderness and on into the
promised homeland--"Lest they forget."
It was and is
important that we do not forget these stories,
because when we remember how YHWH has come through
for us in the past, we can make that the substance
and the evidence for the faith that we require for
today.
So we go from
place to place at the Ruach's/Spirit prompting
telling the Gospel stories, "Lest we forget." "And
the wind blows where it wishes, you hear the sound
of it, but you do not know where it comes from or
where it is going; so it is with everyone who is
born of the Spirit." |
