Often we talk about loving our neighbors and being "one" with Christians around the world. This Saturday night we have a great opportunity to put our words into action -- very easily. This Saturday at 6:30 p.m. we will share a meal and a time of worship with the Spanish congregation that meets in our building each week. Just by showing up we will communicate to them that they are valuable to us as brothers and sisters in Christ. Many of the people that attend the service each Saturday night speak little or no English, so there may be communication difficulties and other social barriers to getting to know one another, which is why just being present will speak volumes to these brothers and sisters in Christ. A large portion of this group drive all the way from Eufaula to worship with like-minded believers!
I believe that God may use this evening to expand our vision for ministry in Columbus and around the world as we get to meet with and worship alongside believers who don't share our culture or language yet worship God with the same passion and fervor with which we worship!
My hope is that you will attend this Saturday evening and that you will come prayerfully expecting God to call us to repentance and deeper faith because of this time in fellowship and worship with our Spanish speaking brothers and sisters in Christ!
