James 1:22 (ESV)
I wrote previously about the message we heard from Steve Haas last night. Today I witnessed and took part in a wonderful thing, a large group of Advent Christians who were obedient to God's Word as it is recorded above. They not only heard about blessing others as they had been blessed, they did it!
In a matter of just a couple of hours approximately 1,000 care kits were assembled, packaged and prepared on pallets for shipping to Africa, where local caregivers will use them to minister to those suffering and dying from HIV/Aids. To God be the glory for the great things He is doing through His people when they are obedient, seeking to bless others as they have been blessed.
Gathering in a conference room, several hundred Advent Christian from all over the world, assembled these care kits while enjoying fellowship and on several occasions spontaneously bursting into songs of praise to the Lord.
Once assembled, the care kits were placed into boxes and these boxes,when sealed, were then taken to the parking lot where they were placed on pallets that were prepared for shipment to a World Vision collection point where they will be prepared for shipment to Africa.
Once all the care kits were packed, the workers assembles around the kits for a time of prayer for those whose lives would be impacted as the kits are delivered to Africa. What an awesome adventure God allowed me to be a part of. I am truly blessed and I wonder what God is going to do next.
