How good and how pleasant when brothers dwell in unity… Psalm 133:1
Two nights ago we had ‘aloha night.’ Every quarter right at the beginning we have a big celebration welcoming all the new students! Island Breeze (a hawaiian ministry team) performed two amazing dances and there was a procession of flags representing all the different countries that are here this quarter. Over 30 different nations are here on the campus right now but I want to tell you what really moved me. We began in Africa where people from Rwanda, South Africa, and many other countries were represented. We moved next to Asia where Mongolia, South Korea, Taiwan and more waved their flags proudly as their national anthem was playing. It is amazing to be in such a multi-cultural, international community! The most moving part of the night for me was when we got the Middle East, Anushka from Israel walked in with her white flag bearing the star of David and then following her the first person to come to YWAM Kona from Palestine waved his flag! Israeli and Palestinian united in Christ! It is only the power and love of Jesus that can unite people like that. He then came up and prayed in Aramaic for all the people and the nations of the earth to hear about the Love of God through Jesus Christ.
On another note we are right back into a full work load this week and we are so excited to be studying the gospel of John! What an awesomely written book about the person of Jesus and how he was God in the flesh! You know, I have never known anyone to rise from the dead but Jesus! As we study the book this week so far that is what has stuck out so far, there is no need to fear death because I know the one who has power over it :) what a comforting, peaceful realization!
