The last couple of days have been a whirlwind for us as our team has split into two groups with one helping prepare food at the center for the Thanksgiving event on Saturday evening and also attending the Worship Workshop at one of the local churches. At the Worship Workshop we’ve had the opportunity to lead worship twice (in English) and I’ve had the opportunity to speak on Thursday and Friday evenings. On Thursday I shared a definition of worship and talked about how it is important to understand worship from a Biblical foundation is about responding to God’s revelation of who He is and all he as done. Then on Friday we talked about our worshipful activities in our lives and church gatherings and discussed how we see revelation and response mingling in all we do. Another leader of the workshop spoke about song writing and the recording process, while the director of the workshop lead some discussions about bringing some more organization and structure to their songwriting process and song translation process between churches. Our team felt like we are witnessing history as some different church leaders are gathered together this weekend to discuss how they will coordinate, going forward.
As I write this we have one more session to wrap up the worship workshop, then our team will gather all together for lunch and then get ready for the Thanksgiving event at the Center. There I anticipate that we’ll get to meet many of our partner’s friends and clients. Madison and I will perform some music as the evening’s entertainment and then we will get up early on Sunday morning to fly home!
Thank you for all your prayers as we sprint toward the finish line!
