“After these things I looked, and behold, a great multitude which no one could count, from every nation and all tribes and peoples and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, and palm branches were in their hands.” Revelation 7:9
One of the things Bridge of Hope is doing and will continue to do, is hold worship nights. This is something we know we are called to do! We had a few of these nights last year, where we invited churches or worship leaders to bring their teams and lead us in worship, and it was a total blessing!!
Spending time with our friends from all over the world, we have learned that worship, song, dance and praise just erupt. It just happens when you put a bunch of people who love Jesus together. I have sat in many meetings where we are talking and praying, then suddenly a song will come out of one of my African brother’s mouth, and BOOM we are worshipping…no instruments, no plan, no words on the overhead projector, just PRAISE!
The group that was originally signed up to lead out June worship night had to cancel. But God wanted us to move forward with it, so we decided to still do it as planned.
We put out flyers inviting the community to come and worship with us, posted on facebook and our website. We set up the sound system, we had a few friends come with their guitars, a cajon and their voices. Our Bridge of Hope guitar class came and played a few songs. We opened the mic for anyone to share a prayer, song, poem, dance, whatever! We had an art table there for whoever wanted to paint or draw as we worshipped. It was beautiful! We had friends from all over the world singing and bringing their songs…. Iraq, Africa, Mexico, Burma.
It was a picture of heaven. It was truly beautiful.
