Safe Harbor International Relief - Sudan Aid - Africa Aid - Disaster Relief - Calvary Chapel » Articles » Sudan 308 - Update From Bill Paquette
I enjoy reading about the work Safe Harbor is doing around the world. Safe Harbor has had boots on the ground in Sudan for many years. Here's an excerpt from Bill Paquette's latest update:
From looking around at our American team members, they were equally blessed by the way the Sudanese worship. We can learn from them...
Pastor Gary taught from Isaiah 6 and while I have heard him teach from this passage many times, as always he did a wonderful job and made some observations that were different from past messages. Gary pointed out that the more we recognize God for His greatness, for His sovereignty, for His Glory, the more we learn how we are "Undone" and that we are men of "unclean lips". While truly in the presence of God, we will recognize 2 important things. First how great He is and second how much we need Him! We can do nothing without Him and when we learn of His awesome power and His unlimited love for us, we should bow, we should submit, we should worship Him. The result of our submission will be our willingness to serve. It is good to be in a place where we stop asking how or where but start asking when. This unconditional love for God will cause us to look for opportunities to serve and this is a great place to be.
Another great blessing is that during the service, there were 2 wonderful local Sudanese women to prepare food for everyone. The smell of good food and the sound of worship is how I imagine the early church as described to us in Acts. Also like in Acts, we all come from different backgrounds and have different social experiences. The one common denominator is Jesus. Because of Jesus, we can come together and pray, fellowship and worship with one heart. How amazing is it that just because of what One Man did on the cross, we can travel around the world just to share His goodness, His love with one voice.
