Reflections from Mark

We went to church today at United Faith Church with the students that we are going to be serving alongside. We had a service on Saturday night and Sunday morning. Pastor Kennedy was speaking on being a people that go and do his work. At first I was like “well I don’t need to hear this I am already out doing his work.” But he also spoke about that we need to include God on what we are doing. This convicted me. I was so overwhelmed with how God got me here and how blessed I am and how we will do great things that I forgot to ask God what he wants us to be doing and how we are supposed to do it.

Pastor also shared with us a prayer that I am going to pray over the team every day and I ask that everyone a home dose the same. The pray is short but powerful, it is “Lord do thing that we are not use to.” This is a dangerous thing to ask because he might answer it. This will pull us out of our boxes and cause us to do thing that we have never done before. Pastor also said, “that if you want what you have never had then you must do what you have never done” please pray for us as we head out to a slum not too far from our homes and spend time with the people and pray that the Lord would go before us and prepare the way and to bless our conversation.
