Server's Prayer Retreat

Finally we have gathered together for a time of rest and fun and prayer. Whoever thought that fun and prayer cant go together? it was a wonderful combination. The place was superb a preserved mini forest away from the maddening rountine of ministry and city life. We enjoyed much eating and praying. The food was excellent, most especially due to the excellent heart of Teddy and his crew who prepared it.

It was also a time of tears and a time of getting to know each other up close. Prejudice slowly turned to understanding and a fresh hunger to pray. The prayer time was deep and aunthentic what a marvaleous sight to see and smell the fragrance of brokenness. It was also multi racial something that is so unique at least in our church than in any other chinese churches in the philippines. Uniqueness of culture is obvious and respected, grace abounded. We sung our hearts out from hymns to oldies love song and other favorites. Fun indeed.

In retrospect im still trying to internalize what God is doing and what the Lord is saying to me and to the men in church. i think for the next few days this will occupy my mind. Im looking forward as God unfolds the wondrous. The world will yet see what God can do to those lives who are fully consecrated to Him.
