From the time of our last post (1 week ago!) to now, the 5 of us have been given our assignments and put to work. We apologize for the lack of comunication for the last week.
We are working here in a variety of capacities-- ushers, room monitors, administrative support, security, transport assistance, writing/communication support. They have been keeping us busy! We are here as servants in every sense of the word. Some of our tasks are rather menial, yet necessary. Some of us have had encounters with disgruntled congress attendees. It has been a challenge at times, amidst busy days and lack of sleep, to imitate Christ in all circumstances.
On a positve note, we have all had great opportunities to interact with congress attendees and have connected with a few of Tenth's global partners-- Bernard Sachie (Ghana), Michael Oh
(Japan), and Michael Cassidy (South Africa). It is our hope that as a result of serving at Lausanne, our view of the world would match God's view, that is that we would fight for the truth and against injustice and that we would actively seek reconciliation within the evangelical church.
-Please pray for the attendees from China, who were planning to attend, but have been prohibited by their country. Pray that they can still be encouraged in their faith and thank God that their absence has been used for God's glory already.
-Please pray for the spiritual protection of all involved at the congress, including us, that God would keep Satan from interfering with the congress. Also pray for physical protection for the congress.
-Please pray that we would be willing servants and that we would take to heart what the Spirit challenges us with.
Pictures to follow!
