Right after the camping trip (see later post), DJ, Amanda and I met the new Costa Rica Team to share what we learned about expecting God, listening and acting boldly and how we recognized the different gifts in the team. Gifts that keeps giving.
Later we went to visit some friends at Every Nations Church in Carmel Indiana, some of the Costa Rica team. I was reminded of the power and passion of worship in Costa Rica by the night of praise here in Indiana. It was a night when I was reminded of Father's love, running to Him with arms open, like a little child about to be picked up...praise as it was meant to be. A praise of passion that has many forms (see three versions below) but one end...a REAL connection with our Papa Dios.
"For you did not receive a spirit that makes you a slave again to fear, but you received the Spirit of Sonship. And by him we cry, "Abba, Father" The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God's Children. ...if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in His glory. Romans 8:15-17
Holy, Holy, Holy
Is the Lord God Almighty
Who was, and is, and is to come
With all creation I sing:
Praise to the King of Kings!
You are my everything,
And I will adore You…!
Brad,
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to hear you guys had an awesome time! That's a great song.
Thanks so much for spending some time with the next Costa Rica team... they all really appreciated what you, DJ and Amanda shared.
Scott, you are an awesome brother and one who gives much encouragement and wisdom. I think the whole team feels a bit like little like Zacchaeus, just so happy to give what we have, though it is nothing in comparison to what we have been given. You have been an vessel in that transaction.
