Wednesday Night Prayer Meeting

Every Wednesday night we meet after to dinner to pray and worship God. We have a bonfire and roast marshmallows. Usually someone plays guitar and we sing and pray as the Holy Spirit leads. In addition to the people on the compound, any one is invited to join us. Sometimes we have people from church and/or the Sudanese staff members. Since tonight was our Thanksgiving celebration it was a little different. Sabet led us in a couple songs and then we went around the circle and said something we were thankful for. Although I have so much to be thankful for, tonight I am especially thankful for the soon arrival of my new niece. I can't wait to hear that she has arrived, find out her name and see pictures of her.

After we all shared, Dave (one member of the team that is currently here – more on them in another blog), led us in a devotion. Then Leo (another team member) led us in communion. It was unexpected and really special. It was a very appropriate end to a day of thanks. Above all, I am thankful for the life I have in Jesus.
