This week each member of our team has been having one night to tell their story. After we listen to our friend’s stories we then have a time of prayer and listening for any words of encouragement the Spirit may wish to give us for them.
What a blessing it has been both to be able to share my story and to hear those of my team mates; to be heard and to listen, to pray and be prayed for. Our lives have led us on very different journeys. God has been shaping us in different ways, giving us varied gifts, similar but also unique passions and dreams. And now our lives intersect as we begin to walk together in community and mission. I’m excited to ponder what may spring from both the richness of our diversity but also commonality of vision.
Telling our stories has helped us know and appreciate one another more; our joys, our sufferings, our brokenness, our passions. It’s been very encouraging to get a glimpse of how God has been at work in each other’s lives, how he has spoken and revealed himself to us in varied ways, and used both our blessings and trials to mould us into the people we now are.
Highly recommended for any community that wants to know, understand and love each other more!
