Impact Outreach Ministries-Sunday 30th July 2006 - Church
Morning
devotions reminded us of all the reasons why we are the body of Christ
and in a way what we will always need.
The church - in love, fellowship,
communion, worship, preaching one thing was evident, it was
not about that which was temporary but eternal. So despite the
buckets, the larva, it has been a rich experience of being the
family of God.The spirit continues to place us outside of our
comfort zone, and we grow.
Alicia Olton shared her ministry in dance,
“I need an angel”, and the ministering of “Take
me into the Holy of Holies“ (baje & trini), not forgetting
Aveon‘s special rendition.
The Host Pastor alluded to a small
miracle where all these ladies could be dressed and ready for
church before time; some said that it was a great miracle. We
then turned our attention to Sunday school and making melodies
in our heart to the king of king.
Our Trinidadian Sis. Lystra turned
our attention to Psalm 1, and not giving up. We then turned
our attention to the word that compelled us to understand the
power of refocusing this word was delivered by our Trinidadian
Pastor. Jessop, to look away from the things that capture our
mind and practice selective forgetfulness, forget those things
that are behind and look to Jesus.
There was a mighty move as we went forward to the altar old
and young.
With a quick lunch, it was off
to the beach with a quick detour to Mr. Brown for a glass of
ice cold refreshing water. In this Christian walk there would
be mountains to climb but we must not give up. Just one of the
uphill lessons we learnt on our way to our fun and fellowship
at the beach.
While there we witnessed a funeral in procession
and I couldn’t help thinking/ feeling in the mist of life
we are in darkness. Death comes so easily, yet as the song rose
“when the roll is called up yonder”, I knew we would
be there. Still it stated that we could not waste anytime, for
time was critical.
