Yesterday we had a worship time at the altar the students constructed. Precious offerings to the LORD were given, prayers and songs in Arabic, French, English, Portuguese, Dutch, SwissGerman, Congolese, Togolese, Serbian, Russian, Hungarian...
God, I'm sure, received all our worship with joy in His children. It was a precious time together!
If you look closely at the sign it says: "Let my people go so they may worship Me"
Yes, there is a battle going on in hearts and minds... I know there are many praying for us. These are the first weeks of the school of Worship and I know God is setting the tone for what's ahead for these students and staff gathered here in the desert.
We watched Dave Garratt's "Let my people go" video about redeeming cultural expressions of worship. It raised a lot of questions, which is good. This morning I'll teach about songwriting and encourage them to write in their own heart languages and in their own cultural styles of expression. One young man here plays the lute - amazing to hear him worship God in the Egyptian way with this beautiful instrument.
Please pray, some of the students are experiencing physical sickness. Pray for our unity as a staff together with the SOW staff. Pray that God will be glorified!
Blessings,
Belinda
