on giving thanks for open hearts...

Last saturday went to pray at the church anniversary dinner celebrations. The sister CG has volunteered to be prayer intercessors, and has invited a few of us to go along and pray with them. We were praying (1) to give thanks for the His goodness and His grace that God has shown to our church in the past 28 years; (2) praying for the people who were serving at the dinner celebrations (love feast!); (3) for the guests outside our church to share in our church vision and (4) we'll be able to raise the targeted amount for our next church-building project.


As usual, went to the prayer meeting with the mindset of don't know what to expect.   Yeaps, I'm "blur" that way. In the end, turned out I was ministered also by the prayers of my brothers and sisters, as well as the way the celebrations turned out. I guess i'm funny that way, but it was a good time of resting upon the Lord for Him to move the hearts of the people below.


At the end of the night, we managed to rasie more than we targeted. While some people might think the amount to be of inconsequence, given the size of the church, it was still an amazing amount of money to raise in one night. I just pray that the posture continues rightly, as we go forth to answer His call in the coming years...
