Come on
what's the story with the jacket?
I discovered this about 30 years ago
from a director of a mission group
at a college
and I thought
That's the jacket I need to wear
because I'm always talking
about the nations of the world
I have my top 40
that all have less than 1% of the witness
we have here
in the UK
and we feel we are pretty needy
And then I have my top 10
I took about 330 meetings last year
most of the time
with this jacket
More often I give it away at the end of the
conference
I've gone through 250 of them
and I've heard that even a president
of a nation wore one once
But our concern is
the nations of the world
and especially the suffering people
of the world
And so in wearing it
are you making that point to those
who see you?
Or is it partly about reminding yourself
of what God has called you to?
I think it's both
And I do a lot of flying
I sometimes hang it on the seat
in front of me and I pray
for the nations
I also have global underwear
but my wife is not in favour of me
showing that
Of course
we're living in a visual generation
I don't always have Powerpoints
This is my main Powerpoint
below my nose
so my jacket helps me a little bit
to be part of this audio
and visual generation
