Tuesday morning, as part of an exercise in Craig's class on "Spiritual Leadership," we split into small groups and prayed for a subject that was on our hearts, based around a scripture.
In my group of 3, the verses shared were:
Mark 9:24: "I believe! Help me in my unbelief!" We expressed our love for God but our shortcomings in our faith, which He can grow in us.
Matthew 28:20: "Lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age." When we leave CEM and go back into the world, we will need to know that Jesus is always with us.
1 Peter 1:22: "Love each other deeply with all your heart." As members of the church and students in our Bible School, we need to show more love and concern for one another.
Almost every Tuesday night, the church gets together for an hour of song and prayer. This Tuesday, the hour was the most animated ever. About half of the usual group was missing because they were rehearsing for this Saturday's Musical. They were replaced by our new American interns and Let's Start Talking Team. Usually prayer night is only for adults, but this time a 10 year old boy from the church joined us. At his request, we sang "Humble Yourselves in the Sight of the Lord" and "This Little Light of Mine" complete with hand motions and chair dancing, which is about as wild as the Church of Christ ever gets. There was a spirit of light-heartedness, almost-giddy joy and simultaneously deep devotion and communion with God about the evening and faces were (figuratively) glowing.
Long awaited photo of our church. Photo props to Katrina Koski!
