Jam and jamming...
This past weekend was really really good and profound. Friday night I attended worship leader training with the speaker being the lead elder of another FMI church in Johannesburg. It was really good. Saturday morning we had another session. He really put a lot of good stuff into us.
Tess, meanwhile, was doing someting she has been wanting to do for a long time....learning how to make jam!!...strawberry jam this time! She also went to a farewell lunch for a work colleague and a ladies tea where a missionary from Uzbekistan was the speaker. So Tess was pretty exhausted by the end of the day and we had an early night.
Sunday morning we went quite a bit out of our way to pick up Jack, a guy Tess works with and has been sharing the gospel with. He has been keen to come to church but for the second week in a row he did not make it. This time he was not home and was still at a wedding. Our strong sense is Eph6:12.
Anyway our meeting was one of the most encouraging and profound I have been to the whole year. It was the last teaching in the revelation series. The worship time was deep. The response by the people was great. At the end of the meeting Gavin felt that all of the elders plus their wives should lay hands on and bless every family and household there that morning so the whole church formed a queue and one by one families stood in the middle of the circle of elders and they layed hands and prayed GOD's blessing on us. It was powerful...they were sending it and prophesying....the worship was going, people were crying and GOD was doing HIS stuff in our hearts......
What a weekend.....
