a few weeks ago i had the privilege of teaching a worship
seminar and doing a night of worship as renaissance accepted the invitation. this was an exciting opportunity because
it came out of being apart of another ministry event earlier in the year. so
the word is catching on about what god has given us to impart to the church
here in europe.
beauvais, france is a beautiful place that boasts to being home
of one of the largest cathedrals in europe. beautiful city, land, and
hospitable people are but some of the things you can expect upon landing in
this city. we trekked out after allyster got off work at nearly 10:00pm on a friday night. the conditions were very well suitable for a long distance
journey. danny lankenau served as my co-pilot as the back seats were filled
with liz, my boys, maeva, laetitia, and allyster. a few red bulls were the aid
in alertness for the night.
we arrived safe and sound with little time to sleep before
having to begin the all-day seminar the next day. the teaching and instruction
went smoothly. i taught along with allyster and laetitia. the subject was
songwriting and it proved successful upon completion.
one lady had written a song and we performed it that night
in worship as a testimony to the workshop earlier in the day. it was a
wonderfully well-constructed french song that she wrote in nearly 2 hrs. the
response was wonderful and you could see how god was imparting vision
for french worship to those in attendance. we felt satisfied with our work and
left with a passion to come back and do more ministry in beauvais. however,
this wasn’t even the best of the news.
we had received an update from the organizer of the event. on the night of worship we had the opportunity to prophecy and speak in one of
the leaders of the church. he wasn’t a pastor but was looked at for leadership. i am excited to report that after the blessing and prophetic words were spoken
over him he has been given an opportunity to pastor the church in which we had
the seminar! he is now walking in such wonderful agreement with the words that
were spoken over him. those that made him pastor were not even in attendance
that night.
but this is not all...
the young people in attendance on the night of worship were
filled with such passion that they have began meeting since we
left. they are hungry for revival in beauvais! think about it, a group of young
people who did not have a pastor, all received a desire to unify and submit
themselves under leadership for the sake of growing in their commitment to the
Lord and building his kingdom! god is so good!
keep praying for his name to be great in europe.
