After training 8 new bible teachers in Germany they all went out to teach. Here is what one of the teachers from Romania wrote:
That awkward moment when you walk into church and realize that you are the only one who is not wearing a head covering… oops… what do you do? You smile, walk forward, take your seat and pretend like you belong here.
A moment later worship band starts playing:
Zi de zi eu vreau
Sa respire Cuvantul Tau
Si ma rog, Doamne,
Tot mai mult sa Te cunosc,
Condu-ma in fiecare clip ace-o traiesc
Zi de zi Doamne, Vreau sa luminez mereu
So what there is no translation? The words sound so familiar…
Everyday, Lord, I’ll
Learn to stand upon Your word
And I pray that I I might come to know You more
That You would guide me in every single step I take, that
Everyday I can Be Your light unto the world
You join everybody in worship.
Our image of God increases every time we go to a different nation. There is something unique that each culture has in a way they see and understand God and it shapes our understanding of who God is as we share our lives with people, as we spend time among them.
There is something special, something greater as we bow down before God in prayer with people from different culture. We see how our trust in God unifies us.
There is no more difference in us.
Our diversity is beautifully united in worship before God.
We see bigger purpose in our lives as we go out. Every time it reminds us how great is the one who created heavens and earth. Who is all in all.
When we see difference of God in other people we understand God more, our picture of him increases, He becomes bigger in our minds.
He has power to unite nations and languages.
He brings unity in diversity.
