It’s exciting to see how God works in raising up certain people for certain tasks. This week with the LCC team, Susie Van Aswegan led a three-day course for lay leaders in Red Hill, focusing on techniques for leading Bible studies and discipleship groups. Having grown up in Indonesia, where her parents did similar work with local leaders there, Susie has a passion for this sort of thing. Clearly God had a purpose in placing her on this team.
Likewise, Cheryl Tanner has a talent for art. In planning this week’s ministry, we decided a good use of her ability would be to paint some designs on the wall at Living Hope’s shelter in Red Hill. Cheryl came to me on Sunday and said she had prayed about what message to include. “What do you think about the fruit of the Spirit?” she asked. I immediately recognized God’s hand at work again, for current next lesson series with the children – which we began this very week – is from Galatians 5:22-23, the fruit of the Spirit (love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control). To have this visual reminder in front of the kids every day will be a huge reinforcement of the lessons we are teaching.
