Spaghetti Night!!

7/21 Wednesday


We made Spaghetti last night for a church! "Mediterranean-style". ;). There's a church here that's celebrating a 5-year anniversary, and we were invited to come celebrate with them. Our Local Team Leader decided that we should make them some dinner to eat after the Service. Not to make this long with details, let's just say the talented cooks made dinner.

I think this trip is turning into a theme. In our last Post, we shared a passage that Lynn read a couple days back with a group of widows:

"After this I looked, and behold, a great multitude that no one could number, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands, and crying out with a loud voice, "Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!".
Rev 7:9-10

It wasn't an extravagant (did I spell that right?) celebration, but to hear Christ being praised in another language made my heart melt. (Sorry if I sound unusually mushy, but the Spirit has been moving) We came in as they were singing Arabic Worship music, and then they started singing "Above All" by Michael W Smith...in ARABIC! As soon as we recognized it we sang along with them in English. Later, before Sarah and Louisa shared their testimony, we led them in Worship. One of the songs was the chorus of "How Great is Our God" (Azeem Ya Allah). When we started singing it in Arabic, the Congregation joined us, and the men started to stand with arms held high, and singing loudly in Arabic. Incredible! So far, this trip brought that passage alive in N Africa. This is what it's going to look like in Heaven, around the Lord's throne!

This is just Day 3. What's in stored for us for the next 3 days? We will eagerly wait to see.

Grace and Blessings,
