This is us, three out of four Friday nights each month.
Gathered around our little woodstove, holding our Bibles and our coffee. Discussing how the life of a Jesus-follower looks different the life of one who does not, delving into the Word, the source of all Truth, asking the tough questions and how we can apply Scripture to our lives.
We left off making a list of the characteristics of one who is a slave to religion versus one who can rest in the relationship of a loving heavenly Father.
Tonight we will continue, studying the parable of the prodigal son. Would you pray for Nathan as he facilitates and Shpresa as she translates? Also would you pray Paul's prayer for "heart eyes" to be opened? We don't know everyone's family situations, but understand that in this broken world, earthly fathers can sometimes cloud one's ability to comprehend a loving heavenly Father.
At our staff meeting yesterday, Shpresa shared the testimony of one village woman who had said, "I always hear you talk about 'seeing God' and I had no idea what you meant. Then on Friday [day of the food distribution] He opened my eyes. When I saw your love for us, I knew I had seen God."
Praise God. We know He is a God who can 'open' willing heart "eyes." Please pray with us for more tender, open hearts!
