Today we had our first volunteers appreciation evening and we needed volunteers to make it happens. It is very encouraging to have already 24 people serving in different areas of ministry: Computer Classes, High School Exam prep, children ministry, music, housekeeping, street kids ministry, etc. The volunteers donated the meat, the cake, and the church added sodas, and plantains. 3 leaders of the church spent all day Friday preparing for all of us to have a great time in the Lord.
We took the time to explain the vision of the ministry one more time.If you ask any church about their vision, many would probably quote Matthew 28:19-20. What makes a difference though is that 1) we don't neglect verse 20 about feeding the flock the Word of God and 2) we do it in unity of spirit.
God really blesses us with wonderful brothers and sisters and we reminded them and myself not to make the mistake of the Galatians found in the beginning of chapter 3 of that book. We need to keep ministering by the Spirit. We remind them about how fragile we all are and how easy it is fall back in the flesh. I ask them to watch over me as I am watching over them so we can continue in the Spirit.
