Ignite

Ignite Service 

             This past Saturday at the Friend's Church there was a benefit to raise support for my ministry in Spain. It was such a wonderful and humbling evening! I felt in such awe of  how God brings so many people from all different backgrounds together to accomplish His purposes! 
         The night started off with the A Joyful Noise, then I spoke for a bit, and then it was finished up with the Ignite Band. Throughout the whole time, I was just overwhelmed by God's presence, and was so blessed to be able to worship Him with so many of my sisters and brother in Christ. 
        Even though I felt nervous and still am not a big fan of public speaking, I felt so humbled to be able to be there sharing with those people about God's heart for the people in Spain. It is really just another reminder that we really are called to be Ambassadors of God, His mouthpieces and His hand's and feet, whether it is telling about a need and challenging our brothers  and sisters to help, or it is pleading for others, as 2 Corinthians 5:20 says to, "Come back to God!" 


And all of this is a gift from God, who brought us back to himself through Christ. And God has given us this task of reconciling people to him. 19 For God was in Christ, reconciling the world to himself, no longer counting people’s sins against them. And he gave us this wonderful message of reconciliation. 20 So we are Christ’s ambassadors; God is making his appeal through us. We speak for Christ when we plead, “Come back to God!” 
2 Corinthians 5:20
