When you enter a room full of missionaries who have set aside time to worship God, you might want to bring a kleenex! Today was awesome. We began worship with an incredible worship band from the YWAM staff, one of which was my son, Jonathan! (Mom was proud!) Wow! They led us in an incredible time! Maybe because I have been in a basically traditional worship experience, or because I am from America, namely, the Bible-belt, or maybe just because I have had limited access to a whole congregation who has determined to give up their total existence for the cause of Christ, but what a freedom flowed through the entire worship experience!
As we sang, prayed and worshipped, the spirit of the Holy Presence met with us, pouring out His sweet fragrance over this offering of worship. As we listened, He spoke words of strength, encouragement and confidence with an unmistakable directive through mouths of obedient worshippers. Near the end of our time together, God called the men among us forth with leadership and the courageous force of a battle-cry. I was so encouraged and blessed to have this eye witnessed memory stamped in my mind and spirit forever!
In conclusion, we prayed for the approximately 50 new Discipleship Training students and interns who will be arriving within the next two weeks. How precious this time was. Thank you, God, for allowing me this awesome privilege today! Wish all of you back home to be here too! Here, it is so evident that the Kingdom of God is being built on earth as it is in Heaven!
