RETREAT TO THE GEORGIA MOUNTAINS

We just got back from a weekend retreat to the Georgia Mountains! What a wonderful time of food, fellowship and fun. This cold Sunday morning we spent the day worshiping, sharing Communion and reading scriptures God has placed on our hearts for the people of Bosnia. Two of our team members, myself included, will be first-timers to Bosnia, so it is particularly meaningful to pray the Word on behalf of complete strangers. To know God is knitting this team together and also tethering us to the hearts of those across the miles through prayer and scripture, and soon, through authentic sharing and worship is humbling and powerful. Each week our team meets to learn and grow and continue to weave this fabric, yet in one weekend, we have gone deeper into the fibers of who we are in Christ. God is preparing us and will equip us to do His work in just 3 weeks time! How glorious to delve deeper into the hearts of each of those called to serve on this trip and discover the richness of the blessings and gifts He has annointed this special group with, separate and unique, but, "So in Christ, we who are many form one body, and each member belongs to all the others." Romans 12:5

"May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give [us] a spirit of unity among [ourselves] as [we] follow Christ Jesus, so that with one heart and mouth [we] may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ." Romans 15:5-6

Please pray for this knitting together and spirit of unity "to grow" as we prepare "to go!"

Be Blessed and Be a Blessing!
